That was a little interesting...Bailey plays Konsa in the area and the defender is checked by Nunes. He asks the question, England says no, and there's no VAR intervention. It would have been a little soft judging by the replays, but it wasn't the smartest play by the City substitute.

It's the last change of the evening from Villa as Zaniolo is replaced by youngster Kellyman.

Ooft close again! Grealish flashes a low ball across the face of goal from the left. Thankfully for Villa there was no City player in sight.

Foden has been an utter joy to watch this evening. It's not just the goals (though, obviously, that has helped), it's the presence of mind, the way he glides down the pitch, the perfect weight of pass. He has utterly destroyed Villa here.
