This was a sobering dose of reality for Manuel Pellegrini as the euphoria of last weekend was blown away to leaveManchester Citystill waiting for their first Premier League away win this season.
Andreas Weimann earned Aston Villaa victory even the most hardened of Holte Enders cannot have foreseen as City's brittle defence were again exposed on the road in an absorbing and unpredictable encounter.
Weimann pounced 15 minutes from time, punishing further suspect goalkeeping from Joe Hart, to earn Villa a remarkable three points and condemn Pellegrini to a stark reminder of the task ahead.
Despite their rampant performance against their Manchester rivals last Sunday, City's weaknesses appear to surface whenever they board the bus from the Etihad Stadium.
The visitors had twice taken the lead and dominated the first half but were left stunned as Villa produced a defiant comeback to record a stirring home win.
