Villa see off Man City to maintain winning Premier League run

MATTY Cash's first-half fizzer earned Aston Villa an excellent 1-0 win over Manchester City, whose Premier League title hopes took an early blow.

Cash fired home from the edge of the area in the 19th minute and that proved enough for a fourth league win in a row for Villa, who celebrated Unai Emery's third anniversary in charge in style.

It was a third successive home victory over Pep Guardiola's side, who fell six points behind leaders Arsenal and face the prospect of another hunt of Mikel Arteta's side after Christmas.

City were stifled excellently by a perfect Villa gameplan and Erling Haaland was stopped from scoring for just the second time this season in all competitions, ending a 12-game spree.

Such a run of results against Guardiola's side would not have seemed possible before Emery arrived at Villa Park in October 2022, transforming their fortunes. And after a slow start to the campaign, they again look like challenging at the top end of the Premier League.
