Aston Villa 2-0 Rotherham: Player ratings in turnaround victory

ORJAN NYLAND. 6.0. It’s a first clean sheet for Orjan Nyland! It was a quiet day for the Norwegian, but he was calm with his collections. Stumbled once trying to play the ball at his feet.. GK. Aston Villa

6.5. Hard not to like Elmohamady’s game. The Egyptian continued his offensive hot streak with another assist. Eight games in and he’s matched his output from all of last season, essentially.. RB. Aston Villa. AHMED ELMOHAMADY

7.5. James Chester came close to scoring on two occasions and once again recorded a passing accuracy greater than 90%.. RCB. Aston Villa. JAMES CHESTER

6.5. It wasn’t perfect, but this was a <em>dramatically </em>improved performance from Mile Jedinak. Bruce’s plan may be to play Jedinak at centre-back at home and in midfield away.. LCB. Aston Villa. MILE JEDINAK

78% passing accuracy and a few forays into the attack that didn’t do a whole lot.. LB. Aston Villa. ALAN HUTTON. 6.0

4.5. El Ghazi was not very good in this game at all, which is surprising. He seems to play better on the left-wing in a very limited sample size.. RM. Aston Villa. ANWAR EL GHAZI

7.0. Conor Hourihane is one of the 11 best players at Aston Villa Football Club. How he fits into the first XI permanently is a question Bruce will need to answer.. CM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE

7.0. Still waiting for John McGinn to dominate matches like his talent level suggests. Still, 3 key passes are hard to argue with.. CM. Aston Villa. JOHN MCGINN

JACK GREALISH. 7.0. 89% passing, one key pass, two attempted shots, and a number of fouls drawn. A standard Jack Grealish match, even from the left-wing.. LM. Aston Villa

7.5. Jimmy Danger should get the majority of the credit for Tammy Abraham’s first Aston Villa goal. The Ivorian drew four fouls.. ST. Aston Villa. JONATHAN KODJIA

Exquisite hold-up play as Abraham linked well with everyone around him. Both he and Kodjia love to drift in and around both wing positions.. ST. Aston Villa. TAMMY ABRAHAM. 7.0
