Matt Maher's Aston Villa ratings v Arsenal: Eight is the number
Matt Maher rates the Aston Villa players after their 2-0 win away at Arsenal.
Emi Martinez 8
Followed up his man-of-the-match performance against Wolves with a save of the season contender in the first half. Just one big stop in the second.
Ezri Konsa 8
Followed up one of the poorest performances of the season with one of the best. Gave Arsenal very little joy down Villa’s right after the opening 30 minutes.
Diego Carlos 8
Another player who came in for criticism after the Brentford draw and responded with an excellent display. Made a couple of vital recovery runs in the first half.
Pau Torres 8
Took criticism for against Brentford but was in the right place to block an early Saka cross and seemed to grow from there. Increasingly influential.
