Nicolas Jackson Double Ends Manchester City's Perfect Start
Premier League·October 25, 2026
Aston Villa beat Manchester City 2-1 at Villa Park, and Nicolas Jackson was the difference, scoring both of the home side's goals.
The win stopped Manchester City's unbeaten run at the start of the Premier League season. Until this result, City had collected maximum points, and they now leave Birmingham without a clean sheet of wins to show for the campaign so far.
For Villa, the result is a statement of intent against one of the league's strongest sides. Jackson's double gives them a striking performance to build on, and it adds to a home record that has become hard for visiting teams to crack.
