Manchester City, under the coaching of Pep Guardiola, faced an unexpected 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, marking a historic low for the Premier League champions.
The match showcased City's dire performance, managing just two shots on goal, the fewest ever recorded by a team under Guardiola's management. In contrast, Aston Villa dominated with an impressive 22 shots, tying the record for the most faced by a Guardiola-led side.
This defeat adds to City's recent woes, having failed to win their last four games, including draws with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham.
The loss has left them trailing six points behind league leaders Arsenal and two points behind fourth-placed Villa.
City's focus now shifts to breaking their unwanted streak as they face Luton Town in their upcoming match, with Guardiola aiming to steer his team back to winning ways.
