Manchester City sealed their top place spot as they beat Aston Villa 2-1 last night. Thanks to Matheus Nunes who scored deep into injury time to help City beat Unai Emery side 2-1. The game seems to be heading for a draw in the competitive race to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
But midfielder Matheus Nunes slotted home Jeremy Doku’s cross at the back post to spark wild celebrations. Earlier in the game, Marcus Rashford’s penalty had cancelled out Bernardo Silva’s goal but City are now firmly on course for a spot in Europe’s elite club competition.
Manchester City climbed two places to third in the table on 61 points, but Pep Guardiola’s men have played one more game than the three teams directly behind them. Aston Villa, who have lost 15 successive games at the Etihad Stadium, remained seventh on 57 points in the crowded top of the table.
