FT: #AVFC 1-0 Arsenal Aston Villa make history - 15 straight home wins for the first time ever. A mammoth effort to hold on for large parts - were dead on their feet in the 2nd half but Villa Park has become a special place. Emery’s subs also crucial. Remarkable achievement👏 https://t.co/loNZcyhqwz
Emery raises his arms to the crowd, cranking the volume up even more. Villa are on the cusp of something special, here. #AVFC
Beautiful balance to Villa. The intensity out of possession is ferocious but they are just so calm with the ball. Winning big tackles and duels early on. #AVFC
What a start to this game! Villa 🔥🔥

ASTON VILLA BEAT MAN CITY & LEAPFROG CHAMPIONS. 🟣🦁🔵 LEON BAILEY's deflected goal gives Villa well-deserved win. UNAI EMERY's team have won 14 straight PL games at fortress Villa Park—is it time we considered them title challengers? 🤔 City held to just 2 shots all game. 🤯 https://t.co/bmTXkgziwY
Full-time and Villa win 1-0. They were far more dominant than the scoreline suggests. Personally I can't be too alarmed as that game seemed inevitable given the absences and what those absences deny City (sorry to say it again but control). In an attempt to get as much control as…
Wow. Villa battered City. https://t.co/bHfWS4kCKE
Wow. #AVFC keep the ball on the edge of the box and Douglas Luiz's whipped effort hits the far post. Honestly, Villa could be three or four up. Utterly dominant. Can't remember seeing City be outplayed in a big game to this extent, even if they do get something out of this
This Aston Villa performance is the best I've seen in the Premier League this season. Outstanding #AVFC https://t.co/gsVb4tAmNm
Villa have City on the ropes. Suffocating them inside their half and Guardiola is bringing on two subs - his side need respite. #AVFC are like a boxer constantly jabbing
HT: #AVFC 0-0 Man City Arguably Villa's best half of the season. Have shown an abundance of quality and courage to keep playing their way and, if anything, even more aggressively. City are a threat on the counter, which tells you how well Villa have played. Shame it's goalless.
Err so this was exactly as expected. Villa really up for this one and swarming on City/attacking quickly

#AVFC have won just 1 of their last 12 PL games on a Wednesday - Emery has never beaten Guardiola & Villa have only won 7% of games against City (4/56). BUT... Fortress Villa Park is in their favour and this will be the biggest test yet of such dominant home form. What a cracker https://t.co/LxI9QbaRdK
