Aston Villa twice came from behind to earn an unlikely 3-2 win over Manchester City in a gripping Premiership encounter at Villa Park, which was a rare win for the home team against the Manchester outfit.

According to Sky Sports, goals from Karim El Ahmadi and Leandro Bacuna cancelled out efforts from Yaya Toure and Edin Dzeko with Andreas Weimann popping up with the winner for Paul Lambert's men.

The home side found themselves outplayed for long periods of the game, but somehow managed to take all three points to leave City still looking for their first win away from home this season, the report said.

 

City threw everything at Villa in the closing stages, but Villa held to claim a memorable win and their first home victory in the Premier League this season, the report added.
