Manchester City snatched a crucial 2–1 win over Aston Villa with a last-minute goal from Matheus Nunes, who made up for his earlier error that led to a penalty. Bernardo Silva had opened the scoring in the 7th minute, before Marcus Rashford equalised from the spot. Erling Haaland emotional reaction and big hug for Nunes post-match reflected the team’s unity in their push for a top-three finish with four Premier League games remaining.
For the team, Manchester City delivered a dramatic last-minute victory over Aston Villa at the Etihad, propelling themselves into third place in the Premier League with only four matches remaining. Despite a rocky start that saw Marcus Rashford hit the post inside 20 seconds, City struck first in the 7th minute through Bernardo Silva, whose effort deflected in with help from a mistake by Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
However, a costly error from Matheus Nunes handed Villa an equalizer after a VAR-awarded penalty was converted by Rashford, causing visible frustration among City players and staff. Guardiola received a yellow card, and Silva confronted officials at halftime. But City responded strongly in the second half, dominating with six corners in ten minutes and creating chances, particularly through youngster James McAtee.
The decisive moment came in stoppage time, when substitute Jeremy Doku set up Nunes, who redeemed his earlier error by scoring the winner. Erling Haaland, not in the matchday squad, celebrated with a congratulatory hug. The win showcased City's resilience, team unity, and belief in their experienced core. With four games left, City remain firmly in the race for Champions League qualification and potentially more silverware.
