Nicolas Jackson's well-taken double for Aston Villa ended Manchester City's 100% winning start to the Premier League season.
City had taken maximum points from their first seven league games but Enzo Maresca's team fell to their first defeat against a Villa side who have an exceptional recent record against them.
This victory was Villa's fifth in their past seven meetings against City, a fourth successive win against them at Villa Park and came on the fourth anniversary of Unai Emery's appointment as Villa boss.
Villa captain John McGinn pounced on a poor touch by City defender Marc Guehi to play in Jackson, who turned inside Elliot Anderson and finished high into the net past Gianluigi Donnarumma for the hosts' opener.
Iliman Ndiaye hit the post as the visitors pressed for an equaliser, which eventually arrived early in the second period when Erling Haaland climbed highest to nod in Ndiaye's cross from the right.
However, parity lasted only eight minutes as Jackson met substitute Ibrahim Mbaye's low cross with a first-time shot that went in underneath Donnarumma's left hand.
Another goalbound Haaland header was cleared to safety by Ian Maatsen as Villa registered their first home league win of the season.
City's lead at the Premier League summit remains at three points, with second-placed Arsenal hosting Everton at 15:00 BST, while Villa have climbed into the top half of the table.
