Kevin de Bruyne telepathy but Man City fall short of perfection vs Aston Villa

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City were left frustrated on Saturday evening after letting a lead slip to draw 1-1 with Aston Villa at Villa Park.

City put in a strange performance in which they were off the pace in the first half but much better after half-time. It was in the second period that Erling Haaland scored his tenth league goal of the season in only his sixth appearance, rising high at the back post to side-foot home a superb Kevin de Bruyne cross.

However, City spurned a flurry of chances thereafter and were made to pay for their wastefulness when Leon Bailey equalised for Villa.

The point leaves City second in the standings with 14 points from six games, one point behind table toppers Arsenal. READ MORE: Man City player ratings vs Aston Villa as Erling Haaland scores again Here are a few things we spotted at Villa Park.
