Aston Villa’s dramatic victory at St. Andrew’s has the club firmly back in the play-off conversation. How did the individuals in claret and blue perform?
ICYMI: Jack Grealish scored a sublime second-half goal to give Aston Villa a feisty 1-0 victory.
But that wasn’t the whole story. By now you know he was assaulted on the pitch by an opposing supporter. The EFL released a hilariously stupid press statement in which they mixed the word “condemn” with “condone.” It’s par for the course with that organization, if we’re being honest.
The EFL manages to say it “condones” not “condemns” attack on Grealish https://t.co/n8ul7mvxNV

Following the full-time whistle both Birmingham City and Aston Villa Football Club released separate statements. Villa’s in particular, was rather scathing.
But enough about the aftermath, let’s get to the player ratings:
André Green and John McGinn both entered in the 62nd-minute and provided an instant spark to the attack. Both players could be pushing for starts soon. Birkir Bjarnason had a late cameo appearance as well. All player data provided by WhoScored match center.
