Man City's leaky defence highlights Donnarumma & Guehi struggles
Manchester City's 100% winning start to the Premier League season comes to an abrupt end against Aston Villa - leaving Enzo Maresca with glaring defensive issues to resolve.
Manchester City's Premier League season ended abruptly against Aston Villa, exposing ongoing defensive issues. Manchester City only managed one clean sheet in their past six games, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi struggling defensively. The two players have made more errors leading to goals than any other Premier League players since the start of last season, with Donnarumma and Guehi each committing three costly mistakes.
After a strong victory at Liverpool two weeks ago, City failed to maintain their shutout against Villa, conceding two goals in each half. The loss left City with only 1 out of their first 6 Premier League matches without conceding a goal. City's coach, Enzo Maresca, admitted both goals against Villa were avoidable and highlighted the need to improve defensively if City are to stay at the top.
