Digne Gets 7, Cash With 5.5 | Aston Villa Players Rated In Lackluster Loss Vs Liverpool | OneFootball

Aston Villa clashed heads with Liverpool at Anfield earlier today as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Villans made a slow start to the contest and conceded the opening goal in the third minute when Dominik Szoboszlai scored with a great strike. Matty Cash scored an unfortunate own goal in the 22nd minute as Unai Emery’s men went into the half-time interval 2-0 down on the scoreline.

Mohamed Salah killed the game off in the 55th minute as the West Midlands club crashed to a 3-0 loss away from home.

Let’s take a look at how each Aston Villa player performed during the clash against the Reds.

The Argentine keeper made one good save in the game but won’t be pleased after conceding three times today.

Torres made two crucial clearances inside his half and made some decent runs with the ball.

CB: Diego Carlos – 6/10

The Brazilian got injured and was replaced in the 18th minute.

He cleared the danger when needed and was accurate with his passing.

RM: Matty Cash – 5.5/10

He worked his socks off on the defensive end of the field but was guilty of scoring an own goal in the 22nd minute.

CM: Boubacar Kamara – 6/10

Kamara tried his best to protect his backline but offered very little going forward.

CM: Douglas Luiz – 6/10

Luiz made a few solid tackles but was far from convincing at the centre of the park.

LM: Lucas Digne – 7/10

The French talent did his best to contain Mohamed Salah and made multiple important interceptions at the back.

RAM: Moussa Diaby – 6/10

His pace caused a few problems for the Liverpool defenders. However, Diaby failed to find the back of the net.

LAM: John McGinn – 6.5/10

McGinn made two positive runs with the ball but never looked like he would score.

ST: Ollie Watkins – 6/10

The English striker worked hard but hardly got a sniff at goal.

Substitutes:

RW: Leon Bailey – 6/10

He completed two eye-catching dribbles but failed to trouble the Liverpool keeper.

CAM: Nicolo Zaniolo – 6.5/10

Zaniolo had two bright moments in the game.

CM: Youri Tielemans – 6/10

He added some energy to Unai Emery’s midfield.

ST: Jhon Duran – 6/10

Duran didn’t have his shooting boots on.
