Aston Villa secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City today at Villa Park, intensifying the challenges faced by Pep Guardiola's squad. This defeat marks City's ninth in their last twelve matches across all competitions, a stark contrast to their previous dominance in the Premier League.
Villa's triumph was spearheaded by Jhon Duran, who opened the scoring in the 15th minute, and Morgan Rogers, a former City trainee, who doubled the lead on the hour mark. Phil Foden managed a consolation goal for City in stoppage time, but it was insufficient to alter the outcome. This loss has significant implications for Manchester City's standing, dropping them to sixth place in the Premier League, nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool. The team's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last twelve games, leading to increased scrutiny of Guardiola's tactics and squad management.
