Manchester City leader Diego Cordero suffered the most painful loss in his Premier League career! In the early hours of Thursday morning (7th), Manchester City were unable to counterattack effectively as they were passive throughout the match, eventually falling to a 0-1 defeat and failing to win for the fourth consecutive league match. Villa's home ground is so powerful that they attacked 22 times, shocking the world with a shot ratio of 2 to 22. City failed to get even one corner kick, and Gordiona confessed after the match that Villa's fighting strength is enough to compete for the title.
In the early stages of the game, both teams went back and forth, with both goalkeepers pouncing on each other's brilliant shots. However, as the game progressed, Villa gradually gained the upper hand, and the high-pressure pressing in front of the field made it difficult for City to play. In the 74th minute, Villa's fast counterattack, Riambini broke through the right road at high speed and crossed the ball, which changed direction and flew into the empty goal. Villa also had a long-distance shot from Douglas Reyes that hit the post, but the final score was 1-0 against City, and the momentum of the 14th consecutive home win was not reduced.
In this game, Manchester City only had 2 shots on goal, which is the lowest number of shots on goal in Gordiona's coaching career, facing the opponent 22 shots on goal, 13 times in the backfield by the counter-robbery of possession, the whole game 0 times to get a corner kick, all set Gordiona in the English Premier League career the lowest record. Gordiona said after the game: "Winning and losing is a common thing, I know the players have tried their best, but soccer is sometimes like this, Manchester City's recent performance is not good, I will find a way to solve the problem, which is my responsibility."
