Manchester City has outdone itself in its performance against Aston Villa, winning 3-1 in a fantastic display of skill and teamwork.
Despite having to play catch ups after a quick opening goal from Villa, Tevez brought them back after a clumsy Villa tackle, and Abedeyor got them in front with a piece of brilliance from a Craig Bellemy cross. Bellemy sealed the game late in the second half with a smashing shot just inside the box.
If this isn’t proof of City’s ability to be a challenger in the Champions league then I don’t know what else is.
Next week, City faces Tottenham in a game that both teams need to win. Coincidentally, it’s the last game of the season. As the bigwigs duke it out at the top of the table, City and Spurs both have their eyes on a Champion’s League position, which this game will essentially decide.
I spoke to a Spurs fan last night who wasn’t convinced of City’s chances, but after watching their display Villa it would be a dangerous thing to dismiss them too quickly.
