How Albion players ratedagainst Aston Villa...
MATY RYAN 6
Not a lot to do and was secure in his footwork and on a couple of high balls but well beaten by Grealish inside his near post.
STEVEN ALZATE 7
His ease and confidence on the ball are a huge asset and was at the origin of the Albion goal as they built from deep.
ADAM WEBSTER 6
Was exposed by the Villa attack and crossfield ball which drew them level. Generally, not always, at ease on the ball.
LEWIS DUNK 6
A decent enough game without being the dominant figure we are used to. Was covering El Ghazi’s run as Villa conjured their winner.
BERNARDO 8
A good athlete who is making a strong claim to keep the left-back slot for a while. Tenacious defending and strode forward purposefully.
DALE STEPHENS 6
Better than of late, notably on the ball. Slid the pass for the Albion goal among a few nice bits of distribution.
DAVY PROPPER 7
Good on the ball and kept a wary eye on Grealish in the first half, less so in the second.
AARON MOOY 6
Will be picked out for his poor pass leading to the Villa goal but was not at his best and opted not to let fly with a good chance in the first half.
LEANDRO TROSSARD 6
There is always the chance he will do something magical and it was a very good finish to give Albion the edge but he was otherwise quiet.
NEAL MAUPAY 6
Did really well in the build-up to the goal and tested Reina late on but lacked composure and precision at other times.
AARON CONNOLLY 5
Looked like he had the pace to trouble the defence but was not sharp when balls bounced around the box.
SUBS
MARTIN MONTOYA 6
Sent on to allow Alzate to move forward but was powerless to deny Grealish the leveller.
PASCAL GROSS
Produced a couple of excellent set-pieces which might have brought the winner.
GLENN MURRAY
Looked to link things up bit no clear chances this time.
