Villa were dominant throughout the game, and the credit must go to Leeds defenders for keeping the scoreline respectable. The youngster had 60 touches, made 10 clearances, won three tackles and made three interceptions during the game.

In the first half, a barrage of crosses got in from his side but he dealt with them superbly. In the second half, he got more chances to get forward, and put in a couple of good crosses. Leeds fans will be hoping that he plays every game for the rest of the season.
