"A mixture of excitement, relief, pride really. Because I can't be any more proud of the players," Villa manager Steven Gerrard said as he reacted to their win over Brighton.
"Some were only around for a couple days in the week, everything we asked them to do in the main they followed the structure and delivered a really good performance in the end.
"That's my medicine, I love winning, I love competing, I love seeing players happy, smiling, feeling good about themselves. We were a bit tense at times today, it wasn't all perfect, it was understandable that the players and crowd were a bit nervous."
While City secured a 2-0 win over Manchester United in their last away match in the league on November 6.
The win extended the Citizens' unbeaten run to five matches on the road in the Premier League having recorded four wins and one draw.
