Aston Villa player ratings: 5s and a 4 after Burnley draw

We rate the players after Villa are held to a 2-2 draw at Burnley.

EMI MARTINEZ

Should have done much better with the opener, which was parried straight out to Anthony. Dealt with everything else pretty well.

Sloppy: 6

MATTY CASH

Caught upfield for Burnley’s first and then culpable for the second when he lost the ball in a dangerous area. A disappointing display.

Error: 5

EZRI KONSA

An untimely slip presented Flemming with a glorious chance to make it 2-0. Back to his usual assured self after that.

Steady: 7

TYRONE MINGS

Caught on the ball by Hannibal in the early stages. Looked to have picked up a knock at the end. Has become shaky.

Erratic: 5

IAN MAATSEN

Given a torrid time by Loum Tchaouna in the early stages. Ran the ball out of play on the attack in the second half.

Poor: 4

VICTOR LINDELOF

Endured a rough start along with the rest of the Villa team, as he struggled to replicate the high of Forest. Improved in the second half.

Improved: 6

YOURI TIELEMANS

Tested Weiss with an effort in the first half. Provided a bit of composure in the middle of the park but not at his best.

Neat: 6

JOHN MCGINN

Missed a chance to win it when he headed wide at the far post. One of Villa’s better overall performers yet again.

Driving: 7

ROSS BARKLEY

Scored for the second time this season with a header from a corner. Tested Weiss with a shot from distance and saw two second half efforts blocked.

Energy: 7

MORGAN ROGERS

Great cross for the disallowed goal but otherwise frustrating. Seemed to pick the wrong option again and again in the second half.

Frustrating: 5

OLLIE WATKINS

Will feel he should have been the match winner after finishing smartly past Weiss for his 17th of the season. Denied earlier by VAR.

Goal: 7

SUBSTITUTES

Emi Buendia 6 (for Lindelof, 74), Lucas Digne 6 (for Maatsen, 74), Douglas Luiz (for Barkley, 80), Lamare Bogarde (for Cash, 80), Leon Bailey (for McGinn, 85) Subs not used: Torres, Abraham, Sancho, Bizot (gk).
