Aston Villa: Aston Villa moved to fifth position in the Premier League points table with a 2-1 win over Manchester City. Despite the recent struggles faced by the defending champions, head coach Unai Emery lauded his side’s approach to the game and claimed they were the better side.
"We are trying to be positive, in some matches we may not perform as we want, but today we performed. We are feeling strong, here we played the first half very well, in the second half we kept possession more and got in the box to score the second goal, we imposed and dominated more,” said Emery to TNT Sports.
Manchester City are currently sixth in the league table having drawn three and lost six in 17 games played. The side is nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, having played two games more, but Pep Guardiola expressed ‘incredible trust’ in his players to bounce back from the rough patch.
