BIRKIR BJARNASON. 7.0. Had two poor turnovers that sprung Burton counters, but otherwise excellent on the afternoon. Bjarnason continues his place over a wealth of defensive midfield options.. CDM. Aston Villa

GREAT rebound match from Conor Hourihane. Here are some match statistics: 92.5% pass accuracy, 50 touches, two secondary assists, one key pass, one shot-on-target.. CM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE. 7.5

7.5. Equally tremendous. Robert Snodgrass recorded five key passes, per WhoScored. he set-up Villa’s first and assisted on Villa’s second. Snoddy was everywhere on the pitch, constantly demanding possession.. RM. Aston Villa. ROBERT SNODGRASS

8.0. Finally broke through with a goal! Jack Grealish was everywhere and everything for the Aston Villa attack. Came close with one curled effort, and hit the bar with a second. 84% passing and drew numerous fouls.. CAM. Aston Villa. JACK GREALISH

ALBERT ADOMAH. 7.5. Albert Adomah was tremendous before being subbed off in the 67th-minute. Scored a header and set-up Scott Hogan’s tap-in. A bit curious for Steve Bruce to withdraw two wingers and not bring-in at least one…Or even have a winger on the bench, instead relying on four deep-lying midfielders.. LM. Aston Villa
