Aston Villa produced a stunning comeback to shock Manchester City and record their first home win of the Premier League season.
The visitors took the lead through Yaya Toure just before the break but Karim El Ahmadi drove home the equaliser.
But City were in front again just three minute later when Edin Dzeko converted Samir Nasri's corner.
The match was then turned on its head however as first Leandro Bacuna and then Andreas Weimann found the back of the net for Villa.
