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.
On the other hand the wind is blowing towards Arsenal and Liverpool, both of whom will compete for a while at least Manchester City is not on the list because they are hungry to focus on improving their performance before returning to the Premier League to compete for the top of the standings.
Discussing Manchester City defeat against Aston Villa will show big changes and Manchester City is on the verge of a big question. It's simple and we can see why Manchester City were unable to score goals due to the absence of Rodri, Bruyne and Grealish in this match. The role of these 3 players is very important in creating shooting space for Haaland. Aston Villa will be increasingly confident and will indeed be in a condition where their opponents cannot stop them. Effective attacks, free play, long distance passes were no less effective than the pressure they put on Manchester City defense. It seems that the defending champions will not be able to repeat themselves this season, whether they admit it or not, competition from unexpected clubs is growing rapidly. Appeal to Manchester City to be careful because this is the most difficult league so Pep Guardiola will feel a little stressed over the next few days.
