# Fans on social media praise ‘class’ Tyrone Mings for ‘brilliant’ performance

Aston Villa kept their sixth clean sheet of the season after [beating Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/january/22/Everton-0-1-Aston-Villa-/) on Saturday afternoon. The Midlands outfit hadn’t shut out a side in the Premier League since mid-December and Tyrone Mings was to thank for keeping the Toffees quiet.

No Villa player blocked more shots or made more clearances than Mings. The 28-year-old won more aerial duels than any other defender too, so he was deserving of his 8/10 player rating from [Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/aston-villa-player-ratings-everton-22840628). Mings was showered in praise by fans on [social media](https://twitter.com/search?q=mings%20%23avfc&src=typed_query&f=live) for his overall performance.

> Mings is class imo. Does a lot on the pitch if you’d actually watch

> Mings was absolute class yesterday. Defended like a machine where it counts

[Against Everton](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1549763/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2021-2022-Everton-Aston-Villa), Mings played for 90 minutes, had 61 touches, won four aerial duels, completed 64.4% of his 45 passes, created one chance, found a teammate with five of his 13 long-range balls, made one tackle, blocked two shots, made one interception, had five clearances, gave away two fouls and won one freekick.

The England international has made [20 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyrone-mings/leistungsdaten/spieler/253677) in all competitions this season, scoring one goal with one assist. He was a regular under Dean Smith and has remained a regular under Steven Gerrard. Performances against Everton are exactly why, so fans will hope he can replicate such form when Leeds come to Villa Park next month.
