6 Guzan – flapped at one and, owing to Villa’s possession, had little else to do bar slap out a cross-shot
6 Lowton – played Morrison on for their goal, otherwise solid and got forward often
6 Bennett – adapting to top flight, positionally OK, went close with a free kick and a crucial foot in on Lukaku late
6 Vlaar – won a bunch of aerial balls and unlucky to assist the goal and have his man played on by RB
6 Clark – got on the end of a couple of corners and kept a good position and a line with Concrete Ron
6 El Ahmadi – dependable in possession without being spectacular; couple of decent challenges
6 Delph – still not convinced; his next left-footed dragback would’ve been read; booked on a give-away
8 Holman – relentless in defence as usual; always available and offered more than a minor threat
5 Benteke – tried hard and good movement; should’ve had at least one but wasteful
5 Agbonlahor – very quiet
5 Albrighton – underwhelmed
7 Bannan – quality on the ball in limited time
8 Bent – what more could he do?
6 N’Zogbia – little time to make an impression, which is a good thing based on form for this club
