Aston Villa vs Man City ends in chaos as players and staff clash

Aston Villa and Manchester City's players and coaching staff clashed in a heated touchline confrontation at Villa Park, as supporters chanted "You cheating b*******" at both sides.

Unai Emery's team became the first in the division to beat Enzo Maresca's title-chasing outfit, ending City's 100 per cent winning start to the new Premier League campaign.

Jackson brace ends City's perfect record

A brace from Nicolas Jackson, either side of a header from Erling Haaland, secured the result for Villa and halted City's perfect start to the season.

As the final moments of the match wound down, Emiliano Buendia collected a yellow card for repeatedly fouling City substitute Rico Lewis.

Touchline confrontation erupts

When the referee produced the yellow card for Buendia, a member of Villa's backroom staff grabbed the ball and declined to return it to the City players.

This prompted Maresca to step out of his technical area and confront the Villa coach, sparking others from both benches to become involved in the fracas.
