Alan Shearer explains how Man City were lucky to avoid defeat at Aston Villa

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer has explained how Manchester City were lucky to avoid defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Blues were not at their best in the West Midlands on Saturday but when Erling Haaland scored his 10th goal of the season at the beginning of the second half, things were looking up. However, 15 minutes from time, Steven Gerrard's side got themselves level thanks to a fine strike from Leon Bailey.

City still had chances to win the game but they ended up having to settle for a point on the road. And Shearer believes that on another day, Pep Guardiola's team may have lost at Villa Park.
