In the second half, City faced another setback with the injury of Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne, who suffered a muscular injury and consulted with the Manchester City medical staff before leaving the field. The injury occurred following a challenge from opponent Jack Grealish, and Gabriel Jesus replaced him in the 59th minute.
Portuguese player Bernardo Silva succeeded in scoring Manchester City's first goal in the 79th minute with a powerful shot that found the bottom right corner of Aston Villa's net. German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan added the second goal in the final minute of the match via a penalty kick.
