It was a day to remember at Pride Park.

Can’t get much better than that. Orjan Nyland was absolutely excellent on Saturday, producing another double save. His command of the backline showed serious improvement as well after claiming multiple crosses in the first-half.. GK. Aston Villa. ORJAN NYLAND. 7.5

7.5. Alan Hutton won’t receive enough credit for this game, but he was seriously impressive. Played right-back in the first-half before sliding to left-back after the break for Neil Taylor.. RB. Aston Villa. ALAN HUTTON

Aston Villa. JAMES CHESTER. 7.0. 88% passing accuracy and well positioned most of the afternoon. Chester wasn’t as good as Tuanzebe, but he didn’t need to be.. CB

7.0. Other than gifting two 1v1 opportunities, Tuanzebe was <strong>dominant. </strong>For that, I must knock him a point or two.. CB. Aston Villa. AXEL TUANZEBE

6.0. Taken off at half-time, but it seemed precautionary after he played 20 or so minutes after treatment. Ahmed Elmohamady played after the break and excelled getting forward. Taylor was a solid 6/10.. LB. Aston Villa. NEIL TAYLOR

8.0. Even better in his new role than at Bolton. Hourihane <strong>scored</strong> a screamer of a free-kick to make it 3-0.. CDM. Aston Villa. CONOR HOURIHANE

8.5. <strong>One goal, one assist</strong>, four key passes, three shots. Must I go on? Dominant.. CM. Aston Villa. JOHN MCGINN

JACK GREALISH. 8.0. Set the tone for Villa after drawing a foul two seconds in. Jack Grealish took a beating and conducted Aston Villa through the middle of the pitch. He posted a ridiculous 97% passing accuracy and two key passes.. CM. Aston Villa

Aston Villa. ALBERT ADOMAH. 7.5. Albert Adomah was constantly running at Derby County all afternoon. His touch was a little off, but he never stopped working. He shows real versatility – being able to play left and right-wing.. RW

TAMMY ABRAHAM. 7.5. Tammy Abraham <strong>scored</strong> Villa’s second. He was so, so good, but he gets knocked a point or two for some awful finishing.. CF. Aston Villa

JONATHAN KODJIA. 6.0. Not Kodjia’s day as he fired too many shots into Derby’s crowd. Replaced by Yannick Bolasie who <strong>assisted</strong> Villa’s opener.. LW. Aston Villa
