Leon Bailey’s deflected shot secured a well-deserved victory for Aston Villa over Manchester City, extending City’s winless streak to four Premier League games.
Villa dominated throughout, showcasing their fearless attacking style under manager Unai Emery.
City, missing the suspended Rodri, struggled to find composure, and Villa capitalized on their defensive vulnerabilities. Bailey’s shot from the edge of the area, taking a deflection off Ruben Dias, found the back of the net 16 minutes from time, leaving City goalkeeper Ederson helpless.
The win propels Villa into third place in the Premier League, highlighting their remarkable development under Emery, while City sits six points behind league leaders Arsenal.
