Manchester City's flawless start to the Premier League season came to an end on Saturday following a 2-1 defeat away against Aston Villa in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The loss halted City's winning run under manager Enzo Maresca, who had previously made history by becoming the first manager to win his first seven Premier League games in charge of a new club.
The defeat proved pivotal at the summit of the table, as it allowed Arsenal to draw level with them at the top of the standings. Arsenal capitalized on Manchester City's slip-up by securing a victory against Everton, moving the Gunners into a joint-top position in the Premier League title race.
