Aston Villa. BIRKIR BJARNASON. 7.0. #BjarnasonForCDM <p>But seriously, Bjarnason showed other-worldly positional sense in a foreign role. The Iceland international has thrown his hat into the mix alongside Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak for the #6 hole.</p>. CDM

Capped-off a tremendous first-half with a well-deserved goal (Jack Grealish did the heavy lifting). Complete first-half from Aston Villa’s most complete central midfielder. Replaced by Glenn Whelan with minutes to spare.. CM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE. 7.5

ROBERT SNODGRASS. 7.5. Completed <em>five </em>key passes in the first-half alone, per WhoScored. Picked-up an assist to boot. Downgraded half a point for being a little sloppy in the final third.. RM. Aston Villa

9.0. I’m running out of praise for the 22-year old. Might have missed the first few months of the season, but if Grealish keeps up the pace, he is well within the Aston Villa Player of the Year conversation. Deserves an England look, too.. CAM. Aston Villa. JACK GREALISH

Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH. 7.5. WhoScored didn’t love King Albert as much, but I thought he was tremendous. Consant dribbling threat against Dimitri Cavaré. Replaced by Josh Onomah with a quarter of an hour to play.. LM
