6.5. Bjarnason tallied off a little in the second half (akin to the rest of the squad), but he certainly was not at fault for the meltdown. The Iceland international completed 95% of his passes on 87 touches.. CDM. Aston Villa. BIRKIR BJARNASON

4.0. Extremely ineffective, and quite honestly, completely anonymous. Multiple times I noticed Hourihane caught way in bad positions that kept Grealish pinned back and/or Bjarnason in a 2 or 3 v. 1 situation. Booked in the match.. CM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE

Aston Villa. JACK GREALISH. 6.5. Two key passes, 86% pass accuracy, two shots and a goal to boot. It wasn’t perfect, and Grealish certainly looked far from sharp, but he did a little bit of everything on Saturday. Did a considerable amount of defensive duty too.. CM

3.0. Did not get involved, could not complete a pass, did not assist Neil Taylor and came off the pitch abruptly. If Aston Villa are to be promoted, Albert Adomah is going to have to pick it up.. LM. Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH

4.0. One of the few willing to try anything to get involved, but it was just not working for Snoddy. Came off in the 54th-minute for Jonathan Kodjia.. RM. Aston Villa. ROBERT SNODGRASS
