Aston Villa 3 Wolves 1: Matt Maher's player ratings

Emi Martinez 6

Well beaten by Cunha for the goal, then saved from Strand Larsen. Not called into major action after that, but his handling was good.

Ezri Konsa 7

One of several Villa players who would get a different mark for the second half than the first. Likes scoring against Wolves.

Diego Carlos 5

Made the mistake for the goal and looked a little off the pace before the break. Got much better.

Pau Torres 6

Allowed Strand Larsen to escape for a big chance. Among several players who improved after the break.

Lucas Digne 5

Has been very good through the opening month, but struggled to make much headway in attack here. Replaced at the break by Maatsen.

Amadou Onana 6

Won plenty of the ball in the first half but didn’t do too much with it. Replaced by Barkley for the second week running.

Youri Tielemans 7

Wasn’t allowed to get into the game during the first half thanks to Lemina’s pressing. Had much more time to dictate the pace in the second.

John McGinn 6

Tried to get Villa moving with a couple of driving runs before being forced off with a hamstring injury right on the stroke of half-time.

Morgan Rogers 7

Well shackled through the first 45 minutes, but got better as the game wore on and ended it with two assists. Never stopped working.

Jacob Ramsey 5

Found more space than any other Villa player during the opening 45 minutes but didn’t to much with it. Made too many poor decisions.

Ollie Watkins 7

Finally had Villa’s first attempt on goal midway through the second half and then delivered the equaliser. Relentless to the last.
