Aston Villa beat Manchester City 2:1 in round 8 of the Premier League, handing the league leader its first league defeat of the season. The home side's triumph was decided by Nicolas Jackson, who scored both goals. Manchester City thus lost points for the first time after seven opening victories. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Jackson scored twice and became the main figure of the match. Aston Villa took advantage of a weaker start by the visitors, who conceded already in the opening phase of the match. Manchester City subsequently managed to narrow the gap, but failed to reach an equalizer. BBC News ↗
For the team led by Enzo Maresca, the defeat also serves as a warning about defensive problems. The defense's performance was accompanied by mistakes that Aston Villa punished. Individual players in the back line also faced criticism, including Marc Guéhi and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. BBC News ↗
Manchester City remains at the top of the Premier League, but its perfect start so far ended in Birmingham. Aston Villa earned a valuable victory over a team that had entered the match without having dropped a single point. After City's defeat, no team remains unbeaten in the Premier League, while among clubs from leading European competitions, only Barcelona has maintained a flawless record. Index.hu ↗
The result also strengthened Aston Villa's position and highlighted the importance of Nicolas Jackson in its attack. Manchester City will have to respond in the coming rounds, particularly to its defensive shortcomings, and try to restore its winning streak. sport.sk ↗
