Nicolas Jackson stole the headlines during Aston Villa's win over Man City, but a midfielder should get the most credit.

GiveMeSport's Jamie Kemble argues that midfielder Boubacar Kamara deserves major credit for Aston Villa's victory against Manchester City despite Nicolas Jackson stealing headlines. Unai Emery's side secured a home win against the league leaders, driven by Jackson's two goals. Kemble highlights that Kamara's midfield dominance was decisive, helping Villa maintain an impressive run of six wins in seven matches.
Kamara recorded five tackles, four clearances, two interceptions, and a 90% pass success rate during the match. The display proved crucial following a season-ending injury to Amadou Onana, with Kemble praising Kamara's role in neutralizing Manchester City's midfield. Villa now turn their attention to upcoming fixtures against AFC Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and Fulham in the Premier League.
