EMI MARTINEZ

Made a fine save to deny Josh Cullen a first-half equaliser. Some question marks over his command of the box after another corner conceded.

Questions: 6

MATTY CASH

A strong defensive performance from the right-back, who has been among Villa’s best players to this point of the campaign. Almost another goal.

Busy: 7

EZRI KONSA

Got blocked off for the Burnley goal but otherwise this was another fine performance from a player in strong form.

Assured: 7

PAU TORRES

Continued his renaissance with another solid showing. His return to something like his old self has been big for Villa.

Improved: 7
