Pep Guardiola brought the curtain down on his Manchester City tenure with a defeat, as Ollie Watkins struck twice to hand Aston Villa a 2-1 Premier League victory at the Etihad.

The match marked Guardiola's 593rd and final game in the Manchester City dugout, ending an era that reshaped English football — but not with the send-off he and the club would have hoped for.

Watkins was the decisive figure on the day, his brace proving enough to secure all three points for Villa and deny Guardiola a winning farewell in front of his home supporters.
