City’s unbeaten run ended by narrow Villa loss](https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/aston-villa-man-city-premier-league-match-report-october-2025-63897080)
Matty Cash’s first-half strike proved to be the difference at Villa Park as Pep Guardiola’s side’s unbeaten run came to an end.
The Blues were aiming to extend our streak without loss to 10 straight matches in all competitions and we started brightly with Tijjani Reijnders coming close with a dipping effort.
But the hosts opened the scoring arguably against the run of play on 20 minutes when Cash collected the ball from a corner and drilled home from the edge of the area.
Following half-time, City came agonisingly close to equalising when Savinho’s effort was hooked off the line and Erling Haaland’s goal was ruled out for offside.
