Aston Villa 1-0 win over Manchester City

The goal, which came late in the game to keep Unai Emery's team's clean home record, demonstrated their greater effort throughout the match against an atypically quiet City. Pep Guardiola's team is currently winless in four Premier League games.

Erling Haaland did have two opportunities in the first half, but City never seemed to be at ease and were severely lacking in Rodri's absence. They now sit six points behind Arsenal and have dropped to fourth in the standings. They could also have to worry about Villa based on this data. Villa attacked City right away, with Lucas Digne striking the sidenetting, Bailey breaking through and making Ederson make a low save, and Pau Torres curling a shot on the angle that required an even greater save from the Brazilian. The audience was cheering Villa on.
