In a match that felt straight out of a blockbuster, Manchester City clinched a vital 2-1 Premier League win over Aston Villa on Tuesday. The drama peaked in injury time when Matheus Nunes fired in a stunning goal in the 94th minute, securing the win and keeping the Champions League dream alive.
City grabbed an early advantage in the 7th minute when Omar Marmoush dashed past Villa's Matty Cash and found Bernardo Silva, who made no mistake by slotting the ball home. But Villa wasn’t backing down—Marcus Rashford equalised in the 18th minute, calmly converting a penalty after VAR confirmed that Ruben Dias had fouled Jacob Ramsey.
With both teams locked in a tense battle, the electrifying moment came at the very end. Jeremy Doku’s incisive cross met Nunes at the back post, and with one swift strike, he etched his first league goal for City into the match’s history. The Etihad erupted as Guardiola celebrated the triumph with two energetic fist pumps, while Villa’s Unai Emery looked on, crestfallen after a tough home defeat.
This victory lifts City to third in the standings with 61 points, intensifying their push toward a Champions League berth next season. A game filled with heart-stopping moments and unforgettable highlights, it’s the kind of match that keeps fans and young sports enthusiasts buzzing! ⚽🔥
