BREAKING: Aston Villa Leapfrog Man City To Go 3rd In The Premier League – #MUNCHE—-Leon Bailey’s second-half goal sent an already-explosive Villa Park into ecstasy as Aston Villa collected a deserved 1-0 win over slumping Manchester City on Wednesday.
Villa dispatched the three-time defending Premier League champions to send City to a fourth-straight league match without a win, as Rodri’s absence loomed large and Villa took dominant advantage.
The win pushes Unai Emery’s Villa above City into third place on the Premier League table, their 32 points two more than City ahead of a meeting with leaders Arsenal (36 points).
It’s Emery’s first win in 14 tries against Guardiola, and Villa’s first defeat of City in 10 tries.
The City loss at Villa joins three-straight draws (with Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham) and Pep Guardiola’s men are now six points off leaders Arsenal.
