Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Manchester United-owned Axel Tuanzebe against Derby County.

Tuanzebe, who joined Villa on loan from Premier League giants United in the summer transfer window, was in action against Derby away from home at the Pride Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The 20-year-old defender was a rock at the back for the Villans and was a key figure in Dean Smith’s side 3-0 win in the Championship match.

According to WhoScored, the English youngster had a pass accuracy of 84%, won one header, took 57 touches, and made one tackle, three interceptions and one clearance.

The United-owned defender was often deployed as a right-back by Steve Bruce, but his successor Smith plays him as a centre-back against Derby.

Tuanzebe used his pace and power well in the match and also read the game well, as he kept the Derby attackers at bay.

Villa fans were impressed with the performance of Tuanzebe and have raved about the young defender on Twitter.
