Man City 2 – 1 Aston Villa

Matheus Nunes, who won stoppage time in Manchester City to win a 2-1 dramatic victory over Aston Villa, raises them to third in the Premier League table.

This has sparked scenes to celebrate joy at Al -Ittihad stadium with the leadership of Pep Guardiola, and his Juna is now in a good position to secure football in the Champions League next season after he put an end to winning five league games.

Bernardo Silva City put early, but Marcus Rashford, who reached this position after 17 seconds, was based on a villa of the penalty after VAR intervened from a mistake from Robin Deas on Jacob Ramsey. The city continued to pay and pay to the winner.

Nunenis found this, and his goal means that City is now one point before Nutingham Forest at the Champions League sites, where the Unai Emery Villa is still seventh – although only four points behind the city. The race is still soon. But this was a great moment for the city.

How did you play in the union?

“He made a big call,” said Roy Kane, before his launch, in reference to Emery’s decision to start Rashford before Olay Watsenz, who admired his Premier League offers. But Rashford was alive from the opening seconds.

He hit this position after 17 of them, which is an early warning of a villa’s ability to cause city problems. But Villa’s mission has become more difficult when Emiliano Martinez in one way or another allowed Silva to be transcended after a good work of Marmoush on a large scale.

Guardiola chose to play Silva alongside Matteo Kovacic in the midfield, with Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkai Gondogan. Each of the Quartets exceeds 30 years and provides real control in Hawza, but it leaves the city vulnerable to the counter -attack – and so it has proven this.

Craig Poson did not discover in the actual time that Dias had found Ramsey, but the intervention of VAR resulted in a penalty recorded by Rashford. More than 20 years have passed since City admitted many goals at home in the Premier League season. But they have a solution.

It was the Guardiola team that pushed hard for the winner, as James Makti was desperately approaching Loop on Martinez on a large scale. Although Rashford renewed Stefan Ortega before reaching the side networks, the pressure did not depend on the villa.

In the end, Jeremy Duko’s introduction was a substitute that proved it as a key, as he found an area under the left and played an attractive ball behind the back line in which Nunes was on hand. Nunes only runs there, playing as a right knee, folders occur.

“You cannot imagine City and Guardiola in the Champions League,” Gary Neville said. The night when he felt many fans on the field, this was at stake, their team had enough to finish the great model in Villa.
