Sunderland 1 Aston Villa 1 - player ratings
We rate the players after Aston Villa's draw 1-1 at 10-man Sunderland.
EMI MARTINEZ
Didn’t have too many saves to make but in the second half his goal regularly felt under siege from Sunderland’s set-pieces. No chance with the goal.
Beaten: 6
MATTY CASH
If in doubt, belt it. The shot for the goal seemed more rooted in frustration but it was good enough to get Villa off the mark. Always involved.
Goal: 7
EZRI KONSA
Allowed Isidor to get the wrong side for the goal but so poor were Villa in keeping the ball it is hard not to feel sympathy with the defenders.
Work: 6
TYRONE MINGS
Won plenty of aerial duels and was usually around to avert danger. The issues in this Villa team are not rooted in the backline.
Battled: 7
