Rico Lewis calls on Man City team-mates to 'stick together' after latest defeat at the hands of Aston Villa

Rico Lewis has called on his Manchester City team-mates to 'stick together' following their sixth Premier League defeat of the season against Aston Villa.

City's latest loss came at the hands of Aston Villa, who ran out 2-1 winners over the current champions to hand them a ninth loss from their last 12 matches in all competitions.

Pep Guardiola's side went behind courtesy of goals from Jhon Duran and Morgan Rogers, with Phil Foden's last-minute consolation not enough to rescue anything from another sub-par performance.

City have already lost twice as many league games this term as they did throughout the whole of last season on their way to winning a fourth successive title.
