Kortney Hause put in a solid display for Aston Villa during their 2-1 win against Watford, even if it was overshadowed.

On the chalkboard

Villa Park went into absolute pandemonium as the ball hit the back of Ben Foster's net in the 94th minute, with Ezri Konsa sprinting towards the corner flag in glee.

His strike took a slight deflection off of Tyrone Mings' flailing foot and flew into the top corner, handing Villa the all-important three points, having been 1-0 down.

Once fans finished celebrating the victory and mocking Troy Deeney, there should be more plaudits for what Hause contributed to the win.

Solid display

Hause's outing was best summarised by his involvement in the goal itself, as it was the 24-year-old who got above Christian Kabasele to knock down Pepe Reina's long ball, diverting it into Mings' path.

Outside of that, he gave a solid performance at the back, winning a massive total of 11 aerial duels - four more than any other player on the pitch managed.

In addition to that, he made one clearance and four interceptions, with the latter only being exceeded by Frederic Guilbert.

Call yourself a Premier League expert? How much did each of these big-money January signings cost?

The defender also showed quality on the ball, completing both of the dribbles that he attempted - only Jack Grealish made more, ending up with a total of five. He also held more possession than any other player on the pitch with 8.8%.

All of this led to the 6 foot 3 colossus being named WhoScored's Man of the Match, with a final rating of 7.7, 0.2 ahead of Mings and Grealish.

This indicates that while Douglas Luiz, Konsa and Mings will claim most of the headlines for their contributions to Villa's two goals, Hause should also get a fair share of the applause.

Meanwhile, Villa fans showed appreciation for one man's passion in the Watford win.
