Aston Villa 0-4 Tottenham - Player ratings
Matt Maher rates the Aston Villa players after they were thrashed by Tottenham.
Emi Martinez
Faced five shots and conceded four of them, though they were all fine finishes. A frustrating afternoon for the keeper.
Blameless 6
Matty Cash
Got forward well in the first half and twice brought saves from Lloris. Culpable for Tottenham’s third when he failed to spot the danger.
Exposed 6
Ezri Konsa
Possibly his worst afternoon in a Villa shirt. Repeatedly outmuscled by Kane and caught in no-man’s land for Tottenham’s third.
Torrid 3
Tyrone Mings
Perhaps guilty of giving Kulusevski too much space for the second. Cops plenty of criticism but was far from Villa’s worst defender here.
Space 5
Lucas Digne
Heavily involved in Villa’s first-half attacks though his delivery might have been better. Forced off early for the third straight appearance.
Injury 5
John McGinn
As poor in the second half as he was strong in the first. Brought a smart save from Lloris with a shot from distance.
Faded 6
Douglas Luiz
Played like a man with a point to prove in the first half when he was constantly snapping at the heels of opponents. Seemed to lose heart.
Frustrated 6
Jacob Ramsey
Denied another excellent goal by a sharp Lloris save. Tackle on Kulusevksi summed up Villa’s first half desire. Quieter in the second period.
Unlucky 6
Philippe Coutinho
After three matches in which he was largely anonymous, the Brazilian was back near his best in the opening half here. Alas, it did not last.
Flickers 6
Danny Ings
Back in the team and full of running, this would have been a big day for the striker with better finishing. Should have scored at least one.
Misses 5
Ollie Watkins
The striker’s running caused no end of problems for the visitors in the first half but when it matted he lacked quality in the big moments.
Finishing 5
substitutes
Emi Buendia 5 (for Coutinho, 70), Leon Bailey 5 (for Ings, 70), Ashley Young (for Digne, 80). Subs not used: Chambers, Sanson, Nakamba, Chukwuemeka, Traore, Olsen (gk).
