Manchester City dropped points at Villa Park as they lacked cutting edge in the final third. It was Haaland put City ahead, but Villa clawed back an equaliser through Leon Bailey.

De Bruyne and Haaland brilliance that saw City take the lead, and an iffy substitution that came just a minute before the Villa equaliser.
