Pellegrini says 'unbelievable' to lose to Aston Villa despite 'playing well'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has said that it was unbelievable to lose to Aston Villa in a recent match but football had some shock results sometimes.

According to the Mirror, Pellegrini was left bamboozled by Manchester City's shock 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.

The Manchester City boss saw his side dominate the first half at Villa Park as they went into the half-time dressing room in the lead through Yaya Toure's sixth goal of the season, the report said.

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, the report added.

Pellegrini said that it was disappointing because City had played very well in the game.

He said that from the beginning, the team had possession of the ball and had the chances.

It was yet another frustrating away day for title hopefuls City after losing at Cardiff last month and a goalless draw at Stoke a fortnight ago, the report further said.

Pellegrini said that they were not thinking about the title at the moment but were thinking about winning the most number of matches as in the Premier League, the difference was very small.
