Líder invicto até então, o Manchester City perdeu a primeira na Premier League: 2-1 para o Aston Villa, no Villa Park, em jogo da oitava rodada disputado neste sábado.

Depois do jogo, o volante João Gomes, ex-Flamengo, comemorou a atuação e a postura do Villa diante de um adversário que havia vencido todas as partidas no campeonato.

"Uma vitória muito especial. Sabíamos do desafio que seria enfrentar o líder do campeonato, mas entramos desde o primeiro minuto de cabeça erguida e sem medo. Executamos tudo aquilo que trabalhamos nos últimos dias", afirmou ao ge, elogiando também o ambiente no estádio.

O City chegou com sete vitórias seguidas e sofreu a primeira derrota sob Enzo Maresca. Nicolas Jackson marcou os dois gols do Villa; Haaland descontou. Mesmo assim, o time de Manchester segue líder, com 21 pontos.

O Villa confirmou a reação: sem ganhar nas quatro primeiras rodadas, emendou três triunfos em quatro jogos e subiu para 11 pontos.

Contratado em julho, João Gomes falou da adaptação e da versatilidade. Cria do Flamengo e com passagem pelo Wolverhampton, ele tem jogado em várias funções — na última quarta, por exemplo, atuou como lateral no 3-1 sobre o Viking, em duelo da terceira rodada da fase de liga. Na competição continental, são três vitórias em três jogos.
