Emery surpasses Guardiola and the 'villains' are third in the Premier
MADRID, 6 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Aston Villa beat Manchester City (1-0) this Wednesday on matchday 15 of the Premier to surpass the champion in the table and place third, while Liverpool maintained a better chase of leader Arsenal by winning (0-2) to Sheffield United.
Unai Emery's team deservedly beat Pep Guardiola's team. The 'villains', who achieved their 14th consecutive victory in the Premier League at Villa Park, suffocated City in their pressure and broke with an electric attack a light blue midfield that missed the Spanish Rodrigo.
The midfielder was out due to an accumulation of cards, an almost psychological absence for City. Guardiola's men had their chances with Erling Haaland, but after the break they did not get close to Dibu Martínez's goal. Villa kept pressing until they found Leon Bailey's 1-0 lead in the 74th minute, with some luck in the Jamaican's right-footed shot.
Villa's victory puts Emery's team third with 32 points and confirms City's biggest crisis of results in more than seven years, four consecutive games without winning, fourth with 30 points, six behind Arsenal. Meanwhile, Liverpool, with 34, won in Sheffield with goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.
In addition, the day left Manchester United with a (2-1) victory over Chelsea thanks to a double from Scott McTominay, who is pulling the 'red devil' car to regain the rhythm in the European zone of the table, while the ' blue' they stay in no man's zone.
On the other hand, Spanish coach Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth continues its progress in its fourth consecutive match, adding three wins and a draw, by defeating (0-2) Crystal Palace, whom it equals in the standings with 16 points.
