GOAL! Manchester CIty 3-2 Aston Villa. (Fernandinho) It's the thrilling end to the game as Fernandinho controls a corner from the left on his chest and hits a shot down into the ground and beyond Guzan. Terrible defending from Aston Villa.

It's end-to-end now! First Manchester City appeal for a penalty as Navas' shot hits Delph and then Aston Villa break away as N'Zogbia plays Benteke in on goal only for the Belgian to be called back for offside. He wasn't.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Aston Villa. (Cleverley) The visitors are immediately back in the game as Tom Cleverley drills a half-volley into the net from the edge of the area after Benteke's knockdown. It looked like the Belgian was marginally offside but the goal stands.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Aston Villa (Kolarov) From 30 yards out the Serbian finds a gap in the Aston Villa wall and it's in the back of the net. Terrible defending from Keiran Richardson, who should have blocked it.

Sanchez is booked for a late sliding tackle from Milner. A chance for Kolarov from here.
