John McGinn (7.6/10): McGinn had an amazing afternoon on the pitch. He created 4 chances, which was the most in the match.
Douglas Luiz (8.3/10): Luiz was accurate with his shots and scored a neat goal of Coutinho’s assist. His distribution of the ball was too good.
Jacob Ramsey (7/10): Ramsey had a decent game in the midfield as he made a few tackles and was successful in all of them.
Ollie Watkins (8.3/10): Although he had the least amount of touches on the field, Watkins made full use of the ball whenever in possession as he scored a brilliant opening goal for Aston Villa.
Danny Ings (9/10): Ings had an exceptional game against his former club. He scored a goal and provided an assist to Ollie Watkins’ opener.

Southampton
Fraser Forster (6.8/10): Forster was arguably Southampton’s best player as he faced 9 shots on target and saved 5 of them.
Valentino Livramento (6.7/10): Livramento had a decent outing on the right full-back position. He was not supported by the attackers going forward.
Jan Bednarek (5.9/10): Bednarek was out of touch and made errors in the back which led to a couple of goals.
Jack Stephens (5.7/10): Stephens had a bad game as he was positionally weak at the back letting in runs through the defence.
Romain Perraud (5/10): Perraud had a forgettable match on the left flank. He had no tackles or interceptions as a defender and was replaced by Walker-Pieters in the second half.
Stuart Armstrong (7.5/10): Armstrong was good on the right-wing as he made the most dribbles in the match, but he curled a shot wide in the first half from inside the box.
James Ward-Prowse (6.6/10): The skipper had an average game, unlikely of his standards. He passed well but lacked the creativity in midfield.
Oriol Romeu (7.2/10): Romeu had a good game in the midfield although his team was collectively poor.
Mohamed Elyounoussi (6/10): The winger could not impose himself into the game and was substituted in halftime.
Che Adams (6.5/10): Adams was the only Southampton player with a shot on target. Apart from that, he was not impactful.
Armando Broja (6.1/10): Borja did not have single shot on target as a forward. He was not involved in any attacks as Southampton went forward.
Substitutes:
Yan Valery (6.2/10): Valery came in for Elyounoussi at the start of the second half and was not effective in the match.
Kyle Walker-Pieters (6.5/10): Walker-Pieters replaced Perraud for a large part of the second half. He carried out his role pretty well.
Ibrahima Diallo (NA)
