2.0. Oh dear. Was not playing particularly well before his second yellow card, then he decided to lunge to the floor when already in threat of being sent off. While he may have got the ball, his studs were up and it was rightly a second yellow. He had to go as a result.. RB. Arsenal. AINSLEY MAITLAND-NILES

6.0. Worked really hard, which was nice to see, especially when he essentially played as a left wing-back in the second half, but lacked serious quality when given the opportunity to cross. Failed to deliver dangerous balls into the box, cannot dribble past a defender, or even shift the ball a yard to create space. He was also partly to blame for Villa’s opening goal, not covering the far post runner.. LB. Arsenal. SEAD KOLASINAC
