Manchester City's Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes (R) celebrates after scoring his team second goal during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on April 22, 2025. AFP
The late winner at the Etihad Stadium moved four-time defending league champion up to third in the standings, with the top five securing a place in European club soccer's top competition next season.
Nunes fired home from a tight angle in the fourth minute of added time after Jeremy Doku's low cross.
The game had looked destined to end in a draw after Bernardo Silva's first-half goal had been canceled out by a Marcus Rashford penalty.
