HOW THEY RATED
Birmingham Mail
|April 28, 2025
EMI MARTINEZ: He was twice beaten from range by Eze and Sarr. He guessed the direction of Mateta's penalty, but the striker missed the target regardless. 5
-
MATTY CASH: Had the difficult task of containing Eze. The Palace forward is a supreme talent, and once again, Villa were reminded of that. 5
EZRI KONSA: Mateta is a handful for any defender and is capable of dropping deep to link play. At the other end, Konsa had a good chance to equalise not long after Eze’s opener. 5
PAU TORRES: He was preferred by Emery ahead of Tyrone Mings. The Spaniard gave the ball away in the lead-up to Palace's opening goal, as his clearance was closed down by Sarr. 4
LUCAS DIGNE: The left-back created the first big chance of the match, whipping in a cross from wide. He was denied by Henderson just after the restart with a spectacular effort that was bending towards the far post. 6
