Man City hit new low as Morgan Rogers inspires Aston Villa to win

Aston Villa inflicted more misery on Manchester City on Saturday, defeating them 2-1 in the Premier League with goals from Jhon Duran and former City forward Morgan Rogers.

Villa leap-frogged City into fifth place in the Premier League table, while Pep Guardiola's shell-shocked holders dropped provisionally to sixth -- and could drop as low as ninth by the end of the weekend -- with their ninth loss in 12 games across all competitions.

A rip-roaring start saw Villa almost score inside 20 seconds before Duran got the home side on the score sheet in the 16th minute when Youri Tielemans sent a sumptuous through ball to Rogers, whose unselfish pass found Duran free to fire home.
