In the first half, Emiliano Martinez made a spectacular save to keep the score tied after Leandro Trossard nearly broke the deadlock.
While David Raya was oblivious to the situation, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Youri Tielemans went close by striking the crossbar.
Before Raya could grasp the ball, Tielemans’ effort struck the crossbar and the post, a rather unfortunate break.
After tenacious play, the away team finally broke through in the 84th minute when Leon Bailey scored into an empty net.
Two minutes later, with a calm chip over Raya, Watkins secured the outcome.
As a consequence, Manchester City maintains their Premier League lead and Villa firmly secure a position in the Champions League.
