That result moves Villa above City and into fifth place. Imagine if you’d spent the last two months at a digital retreat in the Kerguelen Islands and you had this waved under your nose when you got off the plane.

Full time: Aston Villa 2-1 Man City

Look, we’ll come to City, whose astonishing collapse now reads LLLLLDLWDLLL, or nine defeats in 12 reading a list of Ls and Ds hurts your head. But first we should doff the cap to Aston Villa, who produced their best performance of the season to overwhelm City. John McGinn was brilliant, Morgan Rogers was even better and Youri Tielemans topped the lot.

GOAL! Aston Villa 2-1 Man City (Foden 90+3) An accomplished finish from Phil Foden, his first Premier League goal of the season, has cost me four FPL points given City an outside chance at Villa Park.

83 min: Aston Villa 2-0 Man City Villa are battering City and would be further ahead but for Stefan Ortega, who has just made an important save from the substitute Ollie Watkins. It really is shocking to watch, if not necessarily surprising.

While he was in New Zealand, our cricket correspondent Ali Martin spoke to some of the key figures in Chris Wood’s development. It’s a cracking piece, well worth a read.

It came down to our last game and I told the boys: ‘We need to make a statement, win and we’re in the top 10 and go through.’ We were losing 3-0 with 15 mins to go, then Chris scored a hat-trick and we won on penalties. Afterwards he calmly walks over and says to me: ‘There’s our top-10 finish, coach.’ I was just astounded.

GOAL! Aston Villa 2-0 Man City (Rogers 65)

Morgan Rogers, once of Manchester City, has scored a fine – and richly deserved – second Aston Villa goal. Blimey, Manchester City are facing their eighth defeat in 11 games. I can’t recall a precedent for a truly great team collapsing like this.

It’s now Portsmouth 4-1 Coventry, Callum Lang 4-1 Coventrrtery in the Championship. What a story!

60 min: Aston Villa 1-0 Man City

Jhon Duran has had a second goal ruled out for offside at Villa Park, where Villa are playing superbly. In fact, as I type, the outstanding Morgan Rogers has just rattled the outside of the post.

Look out!

Championship latest

There are three early games in the Championship. Callum Lang has just completed a hat-trick to put Portsmouth 3-1 up at home to Frank Lampard’s Coventry™.

Josh Windass has just scored the opening goal of the game for ten-man Sheffield Wednesday at home to Stoke (Di’Shon Bernard was given a second yellow card shortly before half-time). And Hull are drawing 1-1 at home to Swansea.

• Hull 1-1 Swansea

• Portsmouth 3-1 Coventrry

• Sheff Wed 1-0 Stoke

Read John Brewin on Brentford

Thomas Frank combines football-man nous and being ultra competitive – he rarely admits his team deserved to lose – with an adaptability to modern, US-style front-office stats. He, Matthew Benham and Phil Giles, the director of football, have decided attack is the best form of defence, the low quality of opposing Premier League defenders something to be exploited.

Brentford’s influence and innovation are recognised. The Arsenal set-piece guru Nicolas Jover, now celebrated by a mural outside the Emirates Stadium, and the Manchester United coach Andreas Georgson worked as specialists within Frank’s coaching team. Giles has been linked with replacing Edu as Arsenal’s sporting director.
