Manchester City managed to achieve a difficult victory at the expense of Aston Villa with two goals without response, in the match that brought them together within the framework of the English Premier League.
The Etihad Stadium hosted the match in which Aston Villa was a match for City, and Pep Guardiola and his men waited for the 79th minute to score the winning goal scored by Bernardo Silva after an amazingly accurate shot on the edge of the penalty area, before Ilkay Gundogan completed the double and confirmed the victory with a second goal that came from a penalty kick In the 90th minute, after a handball on the Fellans defender, after a joint game between Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus.
Silva scored his first goal for City in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium since scoring a hat-trick in his team's match against Watford in September 2019.
While Gundogan's goals score this season in all competitions has reached the seventh goal, after 19 matches he played, which is the best outcome for him during all seasons of his busy career with the first teams.
With this result, Manchester City topped the Premier League table with 38 points, with a goal difference from Leicester City, who has the same balance, but City played a game less, a arrangement that could change after the Manchester United match against Fulham.
Manchester City will face the next round against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday 26 January, while Aston Villa will meet Newcastle United on Saturday 23 January.
