Aston Villa outperformed Man City in every aspect in this match. I believe it's due to Man City's strong determination, but Aston Villa's aggressive play seemed to disrupt Pep Guardiola's plans. Aston Villa executed an excellent defensive blockade.
What a surprising game, I never imagine the match will end that way because I was actually thinking that Manchester City will win Aston Villa yesterday because they have the best team ever, honestly as big and strong Manchester City is could not perform well yesterday, perhaps they underestimated Aston Villa too much because they believe that they can easily win Aston Villa without taking much of there time but reversal was the case.
Aston Villa defense was so impressive in times of performance, I love there strategy yesterday because after they scored the goal they all went back to defensive play and however Manchester City tried all they could to break the defense but could not because of how strong Aston Villa is yesterday.
This was beyond many people's predictions, Aston Villa really played well enough in this match so that the Manchester City team could not develop their game.
This really surprised me to see the Manchester City team playing, I initially bet on Manchester City winning but in the middle of the match I really doubted that my bet would win and that was true.
This defeat makes Manchester City even more points behind Arsenal at the top of the standings. It is true that this season still has a very long journey, but the Manchester City team cannot wait long and to overcome this downturn, they must be able to recover immediately.
And Aston Villa, they now have the possibility of finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League standings, they have really improved this season.
