Aston Villa v Man City LIVE: Premier League newest rating and aim updates as City behind once more

19 mins: My goodness. The space between John Stones and Manuel Akanj in the Man City defence for Villa’s opening goal… Pep Guardiola’s team were cut wide open from Emi Martinez’s goal-kick. It was a brilliant move from Unai Emery’s side.

Aston Villa lead and it’s Jhon Duran again!

And Man City are behind again! It’s a stunning counter-attack, with one of the passes of the season from Youri Tielemans, who splits the Man City defence wide open from inside his own half.

His through pass releases Morgan Rogers, who is unselfish. He squares to Duran, who continues his hot run of form to bury the chance first time.

14 mins: After a frantic start, it’s quitened down a touch. Cash clips Grealish for the second time, with Grealish spinning off the defender on the turn.

Cash is very, very lucky not to be in the book. Both fouls could have been yellow cards. Cash wins the next challenge and is staying touch-tight to his former team-mate.

11 mins: Grealish has made a difference for City already and is looking more direct out on the wing. He tees up Kovacic, who cracks a shot straight at Martinez. Easy save.

9 mins: A bit better from City, who build some pressure. The big concern is how fragile they look to the counter-attack. Cash gets a ring of cheers as he crunches into Grealish by the touchline.

Lots going on in the penalty area as City get a wide free-kick. The visitors are asking for a penalty as Akanji goes down under some ‘close’ Villa marking. All cleared, though.

8 mins: An absolutely shambolic start from City, with Josko Gvardiol almost gifting Villa the lead within 15 seconds. City may be glad Ederson is injured, given the two early saves Stefan Ortega has made. Jhon Duran is very lively for Villa. Ominously for City, Villa look quick on the break.

6 mins: The goal-line technology was needed, and replays show that Torres’ header was mostly over the line.

But Ortega clawed it out before it could fully cross, so it’s still 0-0.

5 mins: The boos turn into jeers as Grealish cuts into the box and shoots wide.

It’s end to end here. McGinn breaks forward down the right and almost slides in Duran.

Akanji slides in to cut it out.

3 min: Man City clear the third corner, and breath a sigh of relief. Duran should have scored and then Ortega made a brilliant stop to deny Torres.

A few boos for Grealish as he gets his first touches on the left wing.

1 mins: SAVE! Huge save from Ortega to keep McGinn’s corner out! It was Torres’ header actually, Ortega clawed it off the line. Then he tips over McGinn’s deep corner.

WHAT A START!
