Aston Villa hosted Manchester City at the home ground as part of the 15th round of the Premier League on Tuesday, December 6.
As expected, Guardiola's team had more ball possession, but Aston Villa did not lag far behind. Emery's team fought admirably and looked sharper in the first half. The situation for City became even more shocking in the second half when they failed to produce a single shot towards Aston Villa's goal.
On the other hand, the hosts attempted ten shots in the direction of the goal, finding the back of the net three times. In the 74th minute, with an assist from Youri Tielemans, Leon Bailey scored the only goal of the match. Manchester City tried to come up with a response, but Aston Villa defended admirably, securing their minimal advantage.
With this victory, Aston Villa earned three points, climbing to the third position with a total of 32 points. Manchester City slipped to the fourth spot with 30 points.
