Matheus Nunes` late goal secures Manchester City`s 2-1 win over Aston Villa, boosting their Premier League standing and FA Cup hopes.

Manchester City clinched a thrilling 2-1 victory against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium, with Matheus Nunes scoring a dramatic winner in the 94th minute. This crucial triumph propelled City into third place in the Premier League standings, intensifying their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Following the match, Pep Guardiola lauded Nunes for his decisive contribution and provided updates on key players including Phil Foden, Manuel Akanji, Ederson, and Erling Haaland as they prepare for the upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest scheduled for Sunday, 27 April 2025, at Wembley Stadium. The semi-final promises to be a challenging fixture, especially after Forest`s recent victory over Tottenham Hotspur and their successful penalty shootout against Brighton.

Historically, City`s last FA Cup encounter with Forest ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat in January 2009. However, their recent form against Forest has been more favorable, including a solid 3-0 win earlier this season. With four Premier League matches remaining after the FA Cup clash, the City squad is focused on finishing the season strongly. The Etihad Stadium is also undergoing expansion work, enhancing its capacity to accommodate the passionate fanbase.

The match against Aston Villa saw a full-capacity crowd, with standout performances from Nunes and key contributions from Haaland and other starters, solidifying City`s position in the Premier League.
