All the goals from Manchester City vs Aston Villa in the Premier League
Manchester City pulled off a dramatic win over Aston Villa, thanks to a 94th-minute goal from Matheus Nunes that sparked wild celebrations from Pep Guardiola. The goal came after a brilliant run by Jeremy Doku and was a huge relief for the Sky Blues in a match that looked set to end in a draw. City had taken an early lead through Bernardo Silva, but Villa leveled things up after a controversial penalty converted by Marcus Rashford, which had Guardiola fuming on the sidelines—he even picked up a booking for protesting.
Even with the score tied late on, both teams had chances to win it. But in the end, it was Nunes who made the most of Doku's assist to seal the deal. The win keeps City in third place, holding a slight edge in the race for Champions League spots. With just four games left, Guardiola’s side look like strong favorites to lock in their qualification, in a tight battle with Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa themselves.
