Aston Villa stunned Manchester City on Saturday afternoon with the in-form Nicolas Jackson bagging a brace at Villa Park.

Jackson converted both of Aston Villa's shots on target during the match, bringing his early-season tally to seven goals in 11 appearances across all competitions under manager Unai Emery.
Shearer had previously criticized the Senegal international for poor movement and missed chances during his three-year spell at Chelsea. Aston Villa signed Jackson in the summer on a permanent deal worth £65 million, and pundit Martin Keown subsequently praised the forward as a special talent with exceptional pace and composure.
