From the source

Source excerpt · Claret Villans ↗

Aston Villa’s recent results had filled fans with optimism after a slow start to the season, but Saturday’s contest with Premier League leaders Manchester City presented the toughest Villa had faced so far.

Unai Emery’s side passed with flying colours, beating Man City 2-1 to claim back-to-back league wins for the first time this season and marking their fourth straight victory over City.

It was a fearless performance, starting from the first whistle as Villa refused to let their visitors settle, pressing high and not giving Enzo Maresca’s side the type of respect many teams might, given they entered the game coming off seven consecutive wins to start the season.
