Manchester City suffered its third defeat this season in the English Premier League, this time at the hands of Aston Villa, with a score of 1-0, in the match that was held between them for the fifteenth round.
The match played at Villa Park was historic by all standards. In the first half, Aston Villa fired 13 shots at City's goal, more than any other team in one half during the Pep Guardiola era at the Citizens.
In light of a very clear advantage for coach Unai Emery's squad and after a barrage of wasted opportunities, Leon Bailey was able to score the winning goal in the 73rd minute.
Arsenal is undoubtedly the most beneficiary of this victory, as City's score froze at point 30, falling to fourth place, while Aston Villa reached third place with 32 points, while the lead goes to the Gunners with 36 points.
The defeat comes a few hours after Pep Guardiola announced the challenge to the Premier League clubs, confirming that City will win the competition title for the third year in a row, provided that it continues with the same performance it presented against Liverpool and Tottenham.
As we mentioned, this is City's third defeat this season, the first defeat was against Wolverhampton surprisingly, then the second defeat came at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium 1-0.
In general, this is the fourth consecutive stumble for City in the English Premier League, after a 4-4 draw with Chelsea, then a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, then a 3-3 draw with Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium last week, and finally the defeat by Aston Villa.
