Another home win for Aston Villa in the EPL, that is 14 consecutive home wins for Aston Villa in the Premier League, unbelievable feat. Aston Villa fans are currently living the dream, they are third in the Premier League and playing fantastic football, if they continue playing like this, then they could even finish in the top four.
As for Manchester City, that is 4 games without a win, 3 draws and one loss, and they definitely didn't play like champions tonight, Villa were by far the better team and they deserved to win. City have failed to win a game this season when Rodri was unavailable, it is clear that City cannot do without him, and i can imagine a scenario where Rodri gets injured, that is disaster for City, i really think they need to go into the market and buy a few players in January.
City's bench was basically empty for today's game. I didn't watch but from the tweets I saw, looks like there isn't much to write home about about City's performance. But I won't blame City because Villa has been real solid this season — their biggest loss has that 5-1 loss to Newcastle. Since then, Villa has largely improved. I wasn't expecting much from City from this match given how fantastic Villa is (especially at home.
This Villa team won Tottenham at home a few weeks ago.
