WhoScored say Nyland impressed the most for Villa against Swansea

Aston Villa enjoyed a 1-0 win over Swansea City on Saturday afternoon and goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland came away with a lot of credit for his performance.

The 28-year-old was named by WhoScored as the most impressive player against Swansea, scoring an unbeaten 7.9/10.

Nyland kept a clean sheet on the day, making four saves over the 90 minutes and edged out Tammy Abraham (7.8) to earn their Man of the Match award.

It was manager Dean Smith’s first game in charge of Villa since replacing Steve Bruce and sees the Midlands outfit move two places up the Championship table.
