Manchester City, who were recently charged with over 100 financial offenses by the Premier League, closed the gap on Arsenal to just three points with a dominant performance on and off the pitch.
The fans cheered their manager, Pep Guardiola, and displayed banners protesting the investigation, while City secured a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, with goals from Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, and Riyad Mahrez.
Although Villa improved in the second half and scored a goal through Ollie Watkins, they were unable to catch up to City. City will face Arsenal in their next game at the Emirates Stadium.
