Aston Villa 2 Leicester City 1: Player ratings
We rate the players after Villa started 2025 with a 2-1 win over Leicester City.
Emi Martinez
Ensured he did not concede the first shot on target by saving impressively from Jamie Vardy, only for Mavididi to tuck in the rebound. Handling composed as ever.
Beaten 7
Matty Cash
Back in the team after suspension. Had the first effort on target of the match in first half stoppage time. Tried to block the leveller on the line.
Solid 6
Ezri Konsa
Beaten to the cross by Vardy in the build-up to Leicester’s equaliser. Still looks far more at home in the centre of defence than on the flank.
Steady 6
Tyrone Mings
Just a second Premier League start since returning from long-term injury and a pretty solid performance. Sold well short by Watkins in the build-up to the leveller.
Secure 6
