Arsenal Player Ratings: Kim Little Shines in FA Cup Victory vs Aston Villa

Anneke Borba (6/10): Equal to any Villa effort on target, of which there were few. Dealt with any crosses into the box with ease. Emily Fox (6/10): Her afternoon was cut short as she was taken off midway through the first half having suffered a concussion. Lotte Wubben-Moy (7/10): Forced Roebuck into action shortly after the interval having been picked out well by McCabe from a corner. Steph Catley (7/10): Solid in possession to get the ball rolling for Arsenal. Made a fine last-gasp block to deny Ebony Salmon. Katie McCabe (7/10): Enjoyed a lot of freedom down the left. Unfortunate not to add an assist having created a number of chances for the Gunners. Beth Mead (6/10): Struck the crossbar with a cross-cum-shot in the first half. Sliced an effort wide of the near post in the final minutes ahead of half time. Made a sensational last-minute tackle to deny Lynn Wilms from close range in first half stoppage time. Alessia Russo (7/10): Tested Roebuck midway through the first half, but her header was straight at the Villa goalkeeper. Forced a great save from Roebuck 10 minutes before the break. Ultimately unfortunate not to get among the goals before she came off. Olivia Smith (6/10): A solid if unspectacular showing down the left prior to her second half withdrawal. Stina Blackstenius (8/10): Bagged Arsenal's opener five minutes into the second half as Arsenal finally broke the Villa resolve. Missed a great chance to add her second and Arsenal's third in injury time. Smilla Holmberg (7/10): Replaced Emily Fox for her FA Cup debut in the first half. Immediately involved as she picked out Russo with a high cross from the right. Repeated the feat before the break in a bright cameo. Caitlin Foord (6/10): Introduced in the 70th minute in place of Olivia Smith. Frida Maanum (6/10): Replaced Alessia Russo with 20 minutes to go. Victoria Pelova (N/A): Subbed on for the impressive Little late on. Laia Codina (N/A): Came on for Mariona Caldentey for the final five minutes. Renee Slegers (8/10): Forced into a first-half change at right-back that may have hindered Arsenal's gameplan. She ultimately got her selection spot on as Arsenal dominated.
