Man City 2-1 Aston Villa

Big win by Man City. The winning goal was scored in the stoppage time, but the City fully deserved that win.
This was the only match of round 34, the rest to be played tomorrow. The pressure is on for Nottm Forest, Newcastle, and most of all, for Chelsea, who are now outside of the top 5 (the Champions League zone) with two points behind.

Chelsea is playing Everton at home and are a clear favourite, but Everton have proven they are capable of stealing points from better teams, so nothing is certain.

Although I had earlier predicted that Manchester city will make top 4 of the English Premier League this season, but in tonight's match, I really needed Aston Villa to win. They actually need to try again in the champions league as the one they appeared after several years was a success upto the quarter finals. Aston Villa deserves a slot.

There might be many new names as Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest are still much in the race.

I had a feeling that Manchester City wouldn't let this one go. They failed in so many instances and it is of course never happening deliberately, but I think this was probably the most important game of the season apart from any games in the Champions League.

Aston Villa has had a remarkable run in their home stadium, but they are not that good if they don't play at home. They are still strong enough to beat a team like Manchester City that already got knocked out a couple times this season, but they haven't been beaten in a while now.

They still haven't reached their minimu goal, which is Champions League qualification (who would have thought someone will ever say that), but this game was crucial and a loss would have gotten them into deeper trouble than they are already in.
