Either Barkley covered the most kms on the pitch or the 4th most. It flashed up on the BT stats at the end.

From the BBC:

No Premier League side has struck the woodwork on more occasions in the Premier League this season than Aston Villa (20).

Ouch!

That was the best we have played since Grealish has been out.

Barkley looked more like he did at the start of the season and Anwar showed that he has some real talent (just needs confidence and coaching).

Hats off to Ollie as well for a really good game.

In fact, as has already been said, nobody had a bad game. We were a bit open at times, but that was offset by our own much more adventurous approach.

It was a cracking game generally, never mind the performance.

Excellent performance there.

We should have been out of sight first half, but more than deserved the winner. Superb finish.

Barkely was excellent today.

Agree Ads.  Been a critic of Barkley for a while, but thought he had a good game tonight. Thought we played some really good stuff at times, even if it did break down a few too many times because of sloppy play in the final third.

Thought Ollie Watkins was another who had a really good game.  Worked tirelessly and looked a real threat.

That's hypnotic. Thanks for posting. He has unbearable ability, but not everything will work.

Fantastic game of football
Ollie sets the tempo with his non stop running and chasing.
Barkley looking menacing again.
Cash never stopped racing down the right.
Best game for months

Ollie Watkins is knackering to watch. Imagine how annoying it is to defend against him?

The one thing you hate as a defender is pace. The other is a bugger who will run you all the live long day. In the channel, off your shoulder, it's the worst.

What a player this lad is.

such a humble likeable lad as well. There’s not many modern footballers these days I actually like.

Someone said earlier that was the best we've played since Jack has has been out and I thought that myself during the game. Watkins was bloody immense and Luiz showed why he will be really good given time.

McGinn didn't seem to have his radar did he? Worked hard, but a little sloppy.

We seemed to play and pass with pace tonight. McGinn is a bit frantic for that sort of game. Thought he did ok overall.

Agree. Well said both.
