Aston Villa's turn to have fun with City – Premier League – J17 – Aston Villa-Manchester City (2-1)

Buts: Durán (16^e) and Rogers (65^e) for Aston Villa // Footer (90^e+3) pour Manchester City

Here is Manchester City out of the top 5 of the Premier League!

Clearly, the Citizens of Pep Guardiola are still very ill and the treatment followed does not seem adequate. Beaten on the Villa lawn, the Sky Blues conceded a sixth defeat in the league (the ninth in the last twelve matches, all competitions combined). Jostled in all directions and from the first minutes, the visitors seemed lost at Villa Park. Quite the opposite of Unai Emery's men, who flew through the match and could have opened the scoring twice from the kick-off if they had not come up against an excellent Stefan Ortega in goal.

On a bright opening from Youri Tielemans then a pass full of altruism from Morgan Rogers, Jhon Durán finally confirmed that he was indeed a hell of a goal machine in the championship (1-0, 15^e). More restless and more coherent or even more determined, Villa mistreated a City who barely created any chances before the break. Impressive throughout the match and certainly the best player on the pitch, Morgan Rogers – who had already hit the post – scored his team's second goal (2-0, 65^e) on an action which symbolized the lack of commitment as the perdition of Citizens, The locals had so much space to develop their game by moving up almost the entire pitch. Apathetic, like an absolutely transparent Erling Haaland, City will never have believed it and will not have even shown the ounce of a burst of pride. With the exception of Phil Foden, scorer of his first goal this season (2-1, 90^e+3)while Villa steals fifth place from a City with only fifteen points left in the relegation zone.

At this point, the mattress doesn't seem too much.
