Unai Emery’s side was the better team all round as they pressed high, were quick to neutralize threats and produced more clean chances.

Leon Bailey gave the visitors the lead in the 74th minute with a struck of fortune as his shot rebounded off John Stones’ back to send Ederson the wrong way.

Despite their best efforts Pep Guardiola’s men were unable to find an answer and succumbed to their third league defeat.

Villa, on the other, hand continue their phenomenal, unbeaten run at home to leapfrog City in the table by two points. They currently sit third with 32, four adrift from League leaders Arsenal.
