SCOTT HOGAN

CF | Aston Villa
4.0
13 touches. Had a trio of threatening runs that did not amount to anything in the first half. Scott Hogan needs to find a way to force himself into matches; He is entirely dependent on the squad around him to perform at the moment.

LEWIS GRABBAN

SUB | Aston Villa
5.0
Grabban was fine when entering in the 54th-minute. Pigeon-holed into a hybrid LF/LW position.

JONATHAN KODJIA

SUB | Aston Villa
5.5
Kodjia was extremely errant as a substitute, but he was technically credited with the assist on Grealish’s consolation strike. A few more matches under his belt and the Ivorian should be good to play a full 90 minutes in playoff contests.
