City’s perfect start to the Premier League season was checked as we went down to a 2-1 defeat away at Aston Villa.
Enzo Maresca’s men had stepped out seeking to record a club record eighth successive league victory.
However, a brace from Nicolas Jackson ultimately proved decisive.
The Senegalese striker had opened the scoring on six minutes and then struck again on the hour shorty after Erling Haaland had headed City level in superb fashion.
The Blues carved out a host of opportunities with Villa keeper Zion Suzuki also making a series of fine saves.
But ultimately it proved a frustrating afternoon as City went down to a fourth successive league loss at Villa Park.
