Erling Haaland found the net once again to equal a Premier League record, however Manchester City had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa that denied them going top overnight.

Manchester City are now unbeaten in each of their last 21 #PL matches away from home (W15 D6)

Only Manchester United (29) and Arsenal (27 & 23) have had longer such runs in the competition.

Haaland scored his 10th Premier League goal in only his sixth match, equalling a record that Mick Quinn set for Coventry City in December 1992.

But a brilliant strike from Leon Bailey salvaged a point for Steven Gerrard’s side who kept the champions in second place while Villa are 17th.

Aston Villa coach Steven Gerrard said ,”I was really impressed with the character and bravery that they players showed to get back into this game, and on another day, if the referee wasn’t so eager on his whistle, we might have had a second.”

After the match Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said ,”Good game. We conceded just one goal from one shot on target in 90 minutes. We were not precise in our final third touches and our simple things, especially in the first half. We had chances to score a second when the game was in our hands but we didn’t.”
