Man City keep up the pressure on EPL leaders

Feb 13, 2023

Man City maintained their pressure on leaders Arsenal, after cruising past Aston Villa 3-1.

Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez were on the scoresheet, in what was the Citizens’ first game since being charged with breaching over a hundred financial EPL rules.

The result means City remain second in the standings, three points behind the Gunners.

However, City striker Erling Haaland had to be taken off early against Villa after sustaining an injury, leaving him doubtful for the top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal later this week.

Meanwhile, Man United scored twice in the final 10 minutes to beat Leeds 2-0.

Alejandro Garnacho sealed the win for the Red Devils, after Marcus Rashford had headed in his 21st goal of the season in all competitions.
