Ashley Westwood: Contained Toure for over an hour, but was fighting a losing battle. Full of running like his fellow central midfielders and never gave up. 6/10Fabian Delph: Has had a good season for Villa this year, but also struggled against Citys strong midfield. 6/10Andreas Weimann: Had a good chance in the first half when he found himself one-on-one with Zabaleta, but dragged his shot wide. A quiet performance. 5/10Jordan Bowery: Missed a glorious opportunity in the first half as he scuffed a volley after finding room at the back post. Had a good performance against Hull on Saturday but never got into the game last night. 4/10SubstitutesLeandro Bacuna: Came on with half an hour to go in place of Bowery, with Villa looking to hang onto their 0-0 draw. Little impact as City ran riot in the final 30 minutes. 5/10Callum Robinson: Replaced Clark in the final ten minutes, leaving him with little time to have any impact. 5/10Jack Grealish: Just the three minutes for the 18-year-old, who came on for his debut in place of Bertrand. Highly rated by the coaching staff and has represented Ireland at Under-21 level. 5/10
