Mohamed Salah opened the scoring when capitalising on a bad error from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in first-half injury time before Ryan Gravenberch's deflected strike shortly before the hour sealed a 2-0 victory. Conor Bradley 7 Tough battle up against the grisly McGinn but good recovery speed got him out of some potential scrapes, not least with good challenge on Guessand in the second half.

No mistakes second half. Covered when required as Villa sought a way back into game.

Mohamed Salah 8 Had much the better of Digne before interval but let down by occasional poor touch or decision until fine finish for opportunist opener sparked very good second-half showing. Cody Gakpo 7 Overcame a poor start to start to create problems when cutting inside and won one free-kick first half.
