Aston Villa’s final home game of the 2021/22 Premier League camapign ended all square as they drew 1-1 with relegation threatened Burnley.
Ashley Barnes gave the visitors the lead with a penalty right on the stroke of half-time before Emiliano Buendia levelled things up with an expertly taken finish right after the break.
Villa pushed for a winner and would have found one had it not been for some expert shot-stopping from Clarets goalkeeper, Tom Pope.

5. Lucas Digne - 6
A couple of threatening balls in throughout the night but a largely quiet evening for Digne.
6. John McGinn - 8*
Seemed to be really up for it tonight and was by far Villa’s best player from minute one. Could have had two goals had it not been for superb saves before supplying a delicious assist for Buendia’s equaliser.
7. Jacob Ramsey - 6
A welcome return to first team action for Ramsey before being replaced on 70. Was one of the better players in the first half but faded before being subbed.
8. Douglas Luiz - 6
A steady night for Luiz without doing anything too spectacular.
