Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, delivered a stunning defeat to Manchester City, who were coming into the match fresh off a Champions League victory. Despite having lost their recent Europa League game, Villa managed to surprise the visitors at their home stadium. They effectively contained City’s attack and secured a 1-0 victory. The winning goal came in the 19th minute of the match from an opportunity created by a corner kick.
Defender Matty Cash scored the decisive goal for Villa. He received a pass from Emi Buendía and struck the ball with his left foot, beating the goalkeeper. This result marked Villa’s third consecutive home victory against Manchester City. City struggled to create any significant chances for their key striker, Haaland, and ultimately had to concede the loss. With this win, Aston Villa has moved up to seventh place with 15 points, just one point behind City, who have now dropped to fourth in the league table.
