Aston Villa ended Manchester City's perfect Premier League start with a 2-1 victory at Villa Park, thanks to two goals from Nicolas Jackson. Despite Erling Haaland's equalizer, City conceded twice due to defensive errors. Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki made several key saves to secure the win. The defeat marks manager Enzo Maresca's first loss after seven consecutive league wins. Villa climbed to sixth place, while City remains top with 21 points, with Arsenal poised to draw level later.
