Half-time ratings

Alisson Becker 6

Made some straightforward claims first half but some of his passing out of the back was unnecessarily risky.

No chance with either goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6

Given another test by Rashford but stood up to challenge before break and some useful passes forward.

Ibrahima Konate 6

Needed to defend on front foot to prevent dangerous Watkins getting sniff before break and a little unlucky with equaliser.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Villa sought to keep the game away from him first half while diagonals not always on point.

Andy Robertson 7

Decent enough in both directions before break and cross invited chance for Salah.

Ryan Gravenberch 5

Predominantly in a defensive role but didn’t offer very much and looked tired, failing to close down Digne for Villa second.

Alexis Mac Allister 7

Suffered a bit of a buffeting first half from several Villa players but wasn’t deterred and made passing started to pull Villa around.

Mohamed Salah 6

Off target with one header but made amends with composed finish for opener and largely got better of Digne.

Dominik Szoboszlai 6

Plenty of energy and excellent in the press and denied chance by Martinez but didn’t do enough on ball first half.

Couldn’t get enough on header to clear Villa equaliser.

Curtis Jones 6

Ostensibly started on left but regularly popped up in middle, where he created chance for Szoboszlai and struck wide after one strong run.

Diogo Jota 6

Constant pest to Villa defence with two half-chances early on before calm assist for the opener.
