MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City moved within three points of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.
There were fan protests at the Etihad Stadium following the Premier League's announcement on Monday that City have been charged with more than 100 breaches of financial rules. The response on the pitch was for Pep Guardiola's team to comfortably see off Villa thanks to goals from Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan, plus a Riyad Mahrez penalty, all before half-time.
