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.
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.
