The 94th minute winner of Matheus Nunes sent Pep Guardiola Wild and Manchester City to third place after a dramatic 2-1 win in the Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.
“We are ready,” said Unai Emery before the beginning. The city was obviously not. Marcus Rashford hit the base of the posts 17 seconds after the opening pipe and left Ruben slide with twisted blood and the entire home defense red.
This early fear acted as a wake -up call for the hosts who were in front of them in the seventh minute. Omar Marmoush peeled off his central role in a particularly close itteration from Pep Guardiola’s side and skat past Matty Cash before he pushed a reduction in Bernardo Silva’s step. The efforts of the midfield were directly in Emi Martinez, but Villa’s skipper only managed to remove the ball sleeping on his boots and into the net.
Rashford was rejected by the upright upright in the first seconds and scored his goal in the 18th minute. Another increase in Razor-Hharp Manchester United, who played with an additional feeling of zipper and Fizz against his former competitors, opened the opening that Jacob Ramsey stormed into the box, where he was awkward. Rashford made no mistake from 12 meters.

Guardiola charged between two of the five teams on Tuesday on Tuesday on Tuesday, which competed as a “final” for three qualification points of the Champions League. The Catalan treated it as such by using a completely unexpected tactical system. James Mcateee, together with Marmoush, set himself up behind a box midfield without wing players.
From this central position, Mcatee put a bold effort of the second half against Martinez and just past the post before moving out of an even clearer opening from the six-yard box.
What had started when a wild-eyed ding dong soon put in a pattern of the city that was interrupted by Swift Villa Breakaways. Emery’s visitors were not limited to moments of the transition and confidently stroked the ball around their defensive third in view of a highly high pressure.
After an opening of 75 minutes that only had a few clear chances for both sides, Guardiola added Jeremy Doku’s Maverick element. The pure wing player, who was inserted into a game, played almost exclusively in the central disc of the field, made the difference in death and hit Axel Disasi before rolling a perfectly weighted ball over the box so that Nunes fired in a player-time winner.
Victory led City to third place, but leaves the villa on the seventh point, two points of the top 5 before Newcastle United plays her game in her hand this weekend.
