He's improved out of all recognition in a Villa shirt in last 18 months. He knows his strengths and weaknesses and has adjusted his game accordingly. Martinelli hooked, Sterling anonymous and a cracking assist.

Lucas Digne(Marco) Silva always was a visionary. It was not exactly common consensus in April 2019 that Digne is better than Andy Robertson but perhaps the Portuguese simply expressed his views six years too early.While the Liverpool full-back is on the decline, Digne remains unshiftable at 31. Having seen off the challenge of Alex Moreno it was instructive that Unai Emery’s first unenforced changed against Arsenal was to bring on his trusted lieutenant in place of Ian Maatsen.Digne shut down the threat on the left with five tackles and four clearances in 45 minutes, as well as a sumptuous assist for the first goal. One of Villa’s most quietly important players was almost sold in the last two summers.And fair play to Matty Alexander-Arnold-Cash for completing the Liverpool full-back comparison by defending poorly before putting in a stunning ball for the equaliser.

Seems to be having a struggle at left centre half since moving there.Fortunately West Ham okay with no striker but he's been frustrated and nearly sent off for a elbow .Thank fully not so.
