5. LB - Reinildo
Got through some good defensive work but was caught on the ball by John McGinn just moments into the second half as the hosts ruthlessly doubled their lead and seized complete control of the game. 5 | Getty Images

6. CM - Granit Xhaka
Had an excellent game. Dictated the tempo well at times in the first half and always gave his team mates an option. The only frustration was that he wasted a few decent set pieces opportunities. 7 | Getty Images

7. CM - Habib Diarra
Good work in the build up to Chris Rigg’s goal and made good runs behind the defence throughout which was encouraging. Tried to chip Martinez when set clear on goal in stoppage time, and should have scored the winner. Villa struck moments later. 5 | Frank Reid

8. CM - Noah Sadiki
Tireless in his running and helped keep Sunderland in the game. Drifted into decent areas out wide throughout. 6 | Frank Reid
