Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Manchester City dropped points for the first time this season in a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. The Villa striker took advantage of errors from Marc Guehi and Gianluigi Donnarumma either side of Erling Haaland's headed equaliser in what was an impressively combative display by Unai Emery's side that seemed to rattle Enzo Maresca's City - much to the delight of the home fans.
Villa came into the game seeking their first home win of the Premier League season but three victories on the bounce in all competitions had brought confidence and their aggressive start was rewarded when Jackson punished Guehi's loose touch with a smart finish.

Rayan Cherki was denied by Zion Suzuki, while Iliman Ndiaye struck the foot of the far post.
Haaland finally did level for City when heading in Ndiaye's cross and there only looked one winner at that stage, Suzuki tipping Josko Gvardiol's shot on to the bar. But Jackson restored Villa's advantage instead following less impressive work by Donnarumma.
Jackson's first-time shot from the newly introduced Ibrahim Mbaye's centre somehow crept under the Italian goalkeeper and though Ian Maatsen had to clear a goal-bound header from Haaland late on, Villa saw the game out. They move up to sixth. City's perfect record is gone. More to follow... The key moments from Villa Park7 - GOAL! Jackson seized on Guehi's error for the opener21 - SAVE!
