O Manchester City continues with a consistent performance in the 2021/22 Premier League season. Against Aston Villa, the victory had a Portuguese accent, with goals from Ruben Dias (27) and Bernardo Silva (79).
Jack Grealish, who returned to his old ‘home’ after playing the transfer of the year (€118 million), only played five minutes against the club that revealed him.
“We played a fantastic game. It was a difficult game, we knew that, especially as we conceded early in the second half, but we reacted very well,” said City coach Pep Guardiola.

City amended their sixth consecutive triumph, counting all competitions. Once again, he had absolute domination in the first half. Dias opened the scoring with a fine shot from the edge of the area, beating Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
The second goal was a work of art by Bernardo Silva, who deflected a perfect cross from Gabriel Jesus in a counterattack.
The Villans, who won their first two games with coach Steven Gerrard at the helm, had tied at 47 through Ollie Watkins.
