Olsen Gets 8.5, Konsa With 6 | Aston Villa Players Rated In Narrow Loss Vs Brighton | OneFootball

Aston Villa faced off against Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win on their travels in the Premier League. The Villans made a solid start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.

Joao Pedro finally broke the deadlock between the two sides in the 87th minute as Unai Emery’s men crashed to a narrow 1-0 loss away from home.

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

GK: Robin Olsen – 8.5/10

Olsen made a lot of crucial saves at the back but would be disappointed after conceding a late goal.

RB: Ezri Konsa – 6/10

He got stuck in with some solid tackles but offered very little going forward.

CB: Diego Carlos – 6.5/10

Carlos did his fair share of defending but failed to keep a clean sheet this afternoon.

CB: Pau Torres – 6.5/10

Torres performed his defensive duties well but it was not enough today.

CAM: Morgan Rogers – 6/10

Rogers made one good chance in the final third but had to be taken off in the 25th minute.

He made one decent run with the ball.
