Relentless Villa beat Man City, Liverpool win
Aston Villa secured a notable victory over reigning champions Manchester City on Wednesday, further extending their impressive streak of 14 consecutive home wins.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s triumph over Sheffield United brought them within two points of the league leaders, Arsenal.
In other notable matchups during the busy English top-flight schedule, Scott McTominay netted twice as Manchester United edged past Chelsea 2-1, while Fulham dominated Nottingham Forest with a resounding 5-0 victory, intensifying the pressure on manager Steve Cooper.
Villa’s lone goal in the 74th minute came from a deflection off Reuben Dias after Leon Bailey’s shot.
This win adds to Manchester City’s challenges, as they now find themselves winless in four games, trailing six points behind the league leaders, Arsenal.
Despite Pep Guardiola’s side pursuing an unprecedented fourth consecutive top-flight title, they have won just three out of their last nine league games, a concerning statistic compounded by the absence of the suspended Rodri from last year’s treble-winning lineup.
