Manchester City 3 Aston Villa 2 - Player Ratings

Robin Olsen

Near calamity in the opening minutes when he had a clearance charged down by Jesus. Settled impressively and had no chance with the goals.

Eventful 6

Matty Cash

Relentless running and netted his fourth goal of the season with a fine header. But paid for the effort late as he seemed to run out of gas.

Tired 6

Calum Chambers

With more performances like this the January signing from Arsenal could prove one of Villa’s shrewdest signings in recent years. Read everything.

Impressive 7

Tyrone Mings

This has been a tough season for the skipper and his levels have fluctuated wildly at times. For 75 minutes, this showing was among his very best.

Frustrated 7

Lucas Digne

Registered an assist for the fourth time in five matches with his cross for Matty Cash’s goal. Has enjoyed an excellent finish to the season.

Pinpoint 7

John McGinn

An inconsistent season from the Scot has ended with him showing his best form. Did plenty of running but powerless when the tide turned.

Running 6

Douglas Luiz

Performed well in a deeper lying role, with Villa’s gameplan rather going to pot when he moved out of it. May have been his last game for the club.

Confident 7

Jacob Ramsey

Involved in the opener when he ran at the City defence before laying the ball off to Lucas Digne. Plenty more to come next season.

Emerging 6

Emi Buendia

Showed flashes of skill and was among the most composed players on the pitch for the opening 70 minutes. Ran out of steam a little.

Mixed 6

Philippe Coutinho

Scored a goal which demonstrated precisely why Villa were keen to buy him on a permanent basis. Should be more settled and consistent next term.

Sublime 6

Ollie Watkins

Ran Fernandinho ragged at times during the first half. But two big chances, one of which was flagged offside in the stadium, went begging.

Chances 6

Substitutes

Marvelous Nakamba (for Coutinho, 72) 5, Danny Ings (for Ramsey, 83), Ashley Young (for Buendia, 88) Subs not used: Feeney, Sanson, Chukwuemeka, Iroegbunam, Traore, Sinisalo (gk).
