E. Haaland opened the scoring in the 50th minute and L. Bailey equalized in the 74th minute.
Three talking points in the match are:
1. ERLING HAALAND CONTINUES TO SCORE
The Norwegian International has been on outstanding form for Pep Guardiola’s team this campaign as he continues to find the back of the net.
Coming into today’s game Haaland had scored 9 goals in five matches and he was yet again on the score sheet as he score a brilliant goal from K. De Bruyne’s cross.
2. K. DE BRUYNE SHINES
The Belgian International midfielder has been sensational for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. He continued his stellar performance against Aston Villa as he contributed an excellent assist to Haaland’s goal.
3. MANCHESTER CITY FAILS TO MOVE TO THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE TABLE
After match day five, Pep Guardiola and his men were second on the league table, and a win against Aston Villa would have put them in the first position but a goal from L. Bailey killed Manchester City’s hope of going top.
