Man City boss Pellegrini can't explain shock Aston Villa defeat

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini couldn't explain their 3-2 defeat at Manchester City.

City dominated the first half and deservedly led through Yaya Toure's sixth goal of the season just before the interval.

Even after Karim El Ahmadi equalised City seemed set for victory when Edin Dzeko headed in but Leandro Bacuna and Andreas Weimann struck in quick succession to turn the game around.

Pellegrini said: "Of course it is disappointing because I think we played very well in this game.

"From the beginning we had possession of the ball, we had the chances and we didn't have any risk in our own goals.

"It is unbelievable we didn't win this match but football has these things. The team that deserves to doesn't always win."
