With goals from Colombian attacker Jhon Duran and former City forward Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa further tormented a stunned Manchester City on Saturday, beating them 2-1 in the Premier League.
With their ninth defeat in 12 games in all competitions, the champions slipped provisionally to sixth position in the Premier League table, while Villa moved up to fifth place. Pep Guardiola is still hopeful that they can win the championship, even if his club may drop as low as ninth by the end of the weekend and just have one win from that 12-game span. Phil Foden gave City their first league goal of the season in stoppage time when Lucas Digne of Villa made a mistake, but it was not enough for the visitors. After a one-two with Rico Lewis, Foden had City's finest opportunities, including one in the first half that put Villa's World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez to the test.
