Pep Guardiola was ecstatic after Matheus Nunes's 94th-minute winner secured a 2-1 victory for Manchester City against Aston Villa. Guardiola noted that late winners are uncharacteristic for his team compared to rivals like Liverpool and Arsenal. Nunes's goal, his first league goal for City, came after Marcus Rashford's penalty had cancelled out Bernardo Silva's opener. Despite Guardiola's booking for protesting the penalty decision, he praised his team's performance against a strong Aston Villa side, acknowledging the significance of the win for their Champions League qualification hopes with four games remaining. Unai Emery, while disappointed with the late loss, urged his Aston Villa team to recover quickly for their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.
