No chance with either goal, though.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6

Stood up to challenge of Rashford before break and some useful passes forward.



Cleared off line from Rashford second half.

Virgil van Dijk 6

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

Improved second half but again not massive influence.

Alexis Mac Allister 6

Suffered buffeting first half but wasn’t deterred and passing started to pull Villa around.

Never stopped working.

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 sufficient purchase on header to clear Villa equaliser and could have shot for Nunez chance.

Curtis Jones 7

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

Ability to keep ball made difference second half.

Diogo Jota 6

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