That was a fantastic game of football, we never looked rattled, although last 10 mins was nerve racking.
On our day we can beat anyone.
MOTM for me is Onanna, his best game for us.
Kamarra solid as ever.
Defense very good, Cash and Konsa especially.

Great performance - and another fantastic goal.  Some brilliant performances - cash, onnana, McGinn and konsa the standouts

Great turnaround from our early season form - and last 2 games we’ve looked close to our best.  UTV

Fabulous result, I had a feeling for 1-0 this morning and it could have been more. Onana has had plenty of stick but today he was superb and rightly MOM. Great all round performance with the defence looking really solid  just brilliant

Fantastic win. So much hard work went into it. We didn't just defend well, we had decent chances to make it more convincing. Great stuff.

First game I’ve ever watched on a flight! Fantastic. So chuffed!

Oh, is this now legal? The one place where we are forced to survive without internet access on our phones. Now, we're more drone-like than ever.

It has been for years, just requires the flight to offer onboard wifi.

Yes that’s what used. My only issue was getting sky go to work when we weren’t over the sea! Never watched a match on a plane before or let out a cheer mid flight!

Excellent performance today. They were brave in keeping the short passes going under loads of pressure and sprung the attacks when City weren't expecting it. Pure football stuff. After Thursdays debacle they proved they have the all important bouncebackability. Brilliant.

Haaland failed to score in only his second game for club and country this season, and this win ended Citeh's nine-game unbeaten run.

Fantastic performance from all of them.

Have liked Onana since he joined but I was starting to lose the faith. Faith fully restored today, if he stays fit he’ll be a hell of a player for us in the coming years.

Typical spawny DVBs today.

City should have won at a canter and somehow they held on.

Although we're not getting the results at present we probably play the better football.

A really good performance. Defensively brilliant throughout.

Cash and Onana with their best performances for the club.

Yes, Cash was very good today, a great goal and great defensive work too.

Guessand really surprised me with his play, and  hopefully his confidence will grow.

Pep hasn’t got a clue how to play Villa at Villa Park. Far too slow on the build up play and allowing our defenders to get into a great defensive shape. Unai is also guilty of this against certain opponents.
All in all, a great performance and thoroughly deserved win.
