Aston Villa beat Manchester City 2-1 at Villa Park, ending City’s perfect Premier League start and Enzo Maresca’s run of seven consecutive league wins to begin his tenure at a new club. Nicolas Jackson scored twice for Villa, opening the scoring after a Marc Guéhi defensive error and restoring Villa’s lead on the hour after Erling Haaland equalised with a second-half header. The win extended Villa’s run of home victories over City to four seasons.
