Emi Martinez
Would have wanted a better result to celebrate that new contract and while he might have been unsighted for the second, he’ll feel he should have done better.
Beaten 6
Matty Cash
His early departure with a hamstring injury is a concern for Villa, with 18-year-old Kosta Nedeljkovic the only other recognised right-back.
Exit 5
Ezri Konsa
A good performance. Always seemed to be in the right place to snuff out danger and came close to scoring.
Assured 7
Pau Torres
Just like his central defensive partner, there wasn’t a huge amount wrong with his performance. Good on the ball.
Decent 7
