Aston Villa 2-1 Man City
Owen Hargreaves
Former Manchester United midfielder on TNT Sports
I don't think this is going to stay 2-1, there's too many good players out there.
Villa have had too much space, when they get the ball over the top, City are leaving too much space.

Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports
Fabulous break, Donnarumma looking to the sky. Brilliant again from Nicolas Jackson.
He's a player who gets in good positions, nothing wrong with his finishing this season.
He hits it hard enough so if Donnarumma makes a mistake it's going to go right through him.
Donnarumma should have saved that.

City are never winning the league with Donnarumma in goal. Absolute clangers game in game out.
Luke
City haven’t replaced Rodri and they haven’t replaced Ederson, that’s abysmal from the Italian.
Dan

Should Gianluigi Donnarumma do better there?
Two shots on target, two goals for the hosts.
Aston Villa 2-1 Man City
Unai Emery celebrated that goal with gusto. Oh how he would like to mark four years in the job with victory against the Premier League leaders, inflicting their first defeat of the season.
Nicolas Jackson (61 mins)
Aston Villa's lead restored!
Ibrahim Mbaye's first action in the game is to bomb down the right-hand side and cut the ball back for Nicolas Jackson, putting it on a plate for his international team mate.
Senegal striker Jackson whips his finish under Gianluigi Donnarumma and into the back of the net.
City have been the better side but will have to come back again.

Enzo Maresca likes his full-backs to get in those positions, it's a terrific strike on the ball by Josko Gvardiol
Aston Villa 1-1 Man City
Abdukodir Khusanov boots the ball away and the ball catches Johan Manzambi on its way out for a throw in.
Well, it was straight in the you know whats. He'll need a moment.

Seems that the worst thing you can do against this City team is score early

The service to Erling Haaland hasn't been that good but Man City did well there.
They haven't done it enough this game and then when they do, they get a goal.

Manchester City grinding through the gears here and Josko Gvardiol's shot is pushed up and over the bar by Zion Suzuki.
Another good save.
Aston Villa 1-1 Man City
Matty Cash goes into the referee's book for a foul on Jeremy Doku.
It's a painful one down the back of the leg.
Just before that Johan Manzambi worked his way into the book for time wasting.

Owen Hargreaves
Former Manchester United midfielder on TNT Sports
Never in doubt for the big man, just give Erling Haaland the service and he'll score.
He's too big and too strong.

Well we highlighted Erling Haaland's quiet half at the break but, as is often the case, he proved that it just doesn't matter.
Nine Premier League goals for the striker this season.
Erling Haaland (53 mins)
He only needs one chance!
Manchester City win a free-kick and it's pinged out wide to Iliman Ndiaye, who dinks back across for Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian rises highest and nods down into the bottom corner.
Game on.

Aston Villa look to make a bright start as they did in the first half. They win a corner and it's swung in by Matty Cash but eventually caught by Gianluigi Donnarumma and chucked away.
Aston Villa 1-0 Man City
Manchester City won their most recent Premier League game in which they trailed at half time, beating Bournemouth 2-1 on the opening weekend of the season, having failed to win one in either of the previous two campaigns (D2 L8).
But, Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League games when leading at half time (W17 D3) since a 1-4 defeat against Spurs in November 2024.

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
I think Unai Emery's man-management skills are absolutely brilliant.
And I have watched him take training sessions and the level of detail is phenomenal.
