Jackson Gives Villa Early Advantage Against Premier League Leaders
Jackson scored twice as Villa ended Manchester City’s 100% start and handed the champions their first league defeat of the season.
- Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Aston Villa defeated Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday at Villa Park, ending the visitors' perfect start to the Premier League season.
- Manchester City entered seeking an eighth-straight league win after winning their first seven games, but Manager Enzo Maresca suffered his first league defeat against Unai Emery's resurgent Aston Villa side.
- Jackson has now scored four goals in his last four appearances for Villa, while Erling Haaland, Manchester City forward, scored for the seventh consecutive game, heading in Iliman Ndiaye's cross after the restart.
- City remain atop the Premier League table, though Arsenal can draw level on points if they beat Everton later this afternoon at the Emirates.
- The match occurred amid a hostile atmosphere at Villa Park, with fans chanting "cheating b------s" following City's guilty verdict on financial rule breaches last month, a ruling the club has appealed.
