Jack Grealish starred with a goal and an assist.

Aston Villa. ORJAN NYLAND. 5.0. Ørjan Nyland got the clean sheet, but he could not have been more unconvincing. The Norwegian had two errors in the first-half that luckily didn’t account for any Bolton scoring. Has a nice leg save in the second-half to keep the score 1-0.. GK

6.5. Trouble came down Villa’s right more than the left. Still, Alan Hutton was stout defensively, completed a high percentage of his passes, and drifted inward into the attack.. RB. Aston Villa. ALAN HUTTON

Aston Villa. AXEL TUANZEBE. 7.0. No complaints here from the central defense partnership. Chester scored Villa’s second and Tuanzebe was superb.. RCB

7.0. No complaints here from the central defense partnership. Chester scored Villa’s second and Tuanzebe was superb.. LCB. Aston Villa. JAMES CHESTER

LB. Aston Villa. NEIL TAYLOR. 7.0. Outstanding match from the much-maligned left-back. That’s two great home matches in two under Dean Smith.

Moved the ball efficiently, but I have my doubts whether he can provide enough defensively in a full-time role at the position.. CDM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE. 6.5

6.0. Electrifying, exciting, but really out-of-control.. CM. Aston Villa. JOHN MCGINN

8.5. Was this the best performance from an Aston Villa player this season? It might be as Jack rounded the ‘keeper in the 4th-minute and assisted Chester’s header.. CM. Aston Villa. JACK GREALISH

6.0. Worked hard – very bad crossing.. RW. Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH

7.0. Tammy Abraham assisted Grealish’s goal and was an overall menace for most of the match. He was replaced by Scott Hogan with 10 minutes to play. He gets a 7.0 despite whiffing on a clear goal scoring opportunity.. CF. Aston Villa. TAMMY ABRAHAM

JONATHAN KODJIA. 6.5. So promising in the build-up, but so disappointing inside the box. Kodjia is a threat on the dribble, but hasn’t provided enough end product yet. The Ivorian played a full 90 minutes at left-wing.. LW. Aston Villa
