Man City had the lowest number of shots of a Pep Guardiola team EVER in the top flight in their 1-0 loss to Aston Villa and didn't shoot after the 11th minute... as statistics reveal just how badly the champions were dominated

Manchester City had the lowest number of shots ever out of a top-tier Pep Guardiola side ever in their 1-0 loss at Aston Villa.

City's two shots is the most paltry of any Guardiola side, while the 22 efforts they faced is the most one of his teams has faced.

Leon Bailey's deflected strike was enough to separate the sides as Villa leapfrogged City on Wednesday night with an extraordinary performance.
