Aston Villa claimed a 2-1 win over Manchester City, moving above the champions in the Premier League table. The result marked a significant blow to Manchester City’s title hopes and continued their struggles in the league.
Jhon Duran scored in the 16th minute, and Morgan Rogers added a second goal in the 65th minute for Villa. Phil Foden scored a goal in second-half added time, but it was too little, too late for City. Despite the late consolation, Manchester City’s run of form remains a major concern for manager Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City have now lost 9 games in 12 across all competitions and are without an away victory since October 20. This latest defeat puts them on a worse run of form than Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United were before he was sacked in October. The team’s inability to secure wins on the road has been a major issue, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to this latest setback.
Guardiola’s team will need to turn things around quickly to avoid a significant gap with league leaders Liverpool by Christmas. The pressure is mounting on the City manager to get his team back on track, and a swift recovery is essential if they are to retain their Premier League title.
