Aston Villa's Nicolas Jackson celebrates scoring their side's second goal of the game (PA)
Aston Villa defeated top-of-the-table Manchester City 2-1 at Villa Park, inspired by a brace from striker Nicolas Jackson.
Jackson’s first goal was smashed into the top-left corner, and his second a low driven shot past City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Citizens fell short despite a brilliant headed goal by Haaland for his ninth of the year.
Manchester City will maintain their grip on the top of the table even in defeat because of their superior goal difference, regardless of whether Arsenal win against Everton this afternoon.
Aston Villa climbed to sixth following the win, having played one game more than the teams around them.
