"We Fought" - Ruben Dias Admits to 'Frustration' in Manchester City Defeat to Aston Villa
Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readManchester City captain Ruben Dias has insisted that while defeat to Aston Villa was "frustrating", there are plenty of encouraging signs to take away from Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.
From the source
Nicolas Jackson's brace was the difference between Aston Villa and Manchester City at the weekend, as Unai Emery's frontman cancelled out Erling Haaland's equaliser earlier in the second-half.
The Senegalese striker opened the scoring in the Midlands inside just six minutes, punishing an error from Marc Guehi and the City defender's heavy touch at the back, striking high above a helpless Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian goalkeeper would then submit to his own error on the hour mark of the game, failing to keep out Nicolas Jackson's strike from an Ibrahim Mbaye cross, despite the ball being struck directly at him.
