This Saturday, Manchester City suffered their first setback of the season in the Premier League. Beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa at Villa Park, Enzo Maresca’s men were punished by the realism of the Villans, carried by Nicolas Jackson’s double and an error by Gianluigi Donnarumma on the second goal. After the meeting, Erling Haaland spoke at the microphone of Canal+ and recognized the effectiveness of his opponent, while particularly highlighting the work of Unai Emery.

“I think Aston Villa created some good chances and scored two goals. Jackson was very efficient, bravo to him. We had chances, but we have to put the ball in the back of the net. It’s not enough and we must learn from this match to continue improving. We tried to play like in previous matches, but Aston Villa are a good team who played well. We had chances, so we have to score, as they did with two shots on target. They have a good team and an incredible coach. They want to play football and keep the ball, and they have a coach who allows them to do that. Well done to them »explained the Norwegian.
