Enzo Maresca’s perfect start to Premier League play as Manchester City boss was ended by Aston Villa on Saturday in a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park.

Nicolas Jackson gave Villa an early lead and the Senegalese restored it, too, after Erling Haaland’s league-best ninth goal of the season brought City level.

Villa started poorly but are back in the top-five discussion with three wins and a draw since starting 0W-1D-3L.

The Villans, also perfect in the Champions League, have 11 points and are 10 back of City. More importantly, they’ll finish Week 8 within sight of the Champions League places on the PL table.
