MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Manchester City's perfect start to the Premier
League season ended Saturday with a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa.
Nicolas Jackson scored both goals for Villa against Enzo Maresca's City, which
was aiming for an eighth straight win in the league.
It also extended Villa's outstanding recent run to six wins from seven games in
all competitions.
Jackson is up to seven goals for the season in all competitions. He fired the
opener inside six minutes at Villa Park.
Erling Haaland headed City level in the second half, but Jackson got his second
and the winner with a first-time finish that squirmed under goalkeeper
Gianluigi Donnarumma.
City fell to a fourth defeat at Villa Park in as many seasons.
