Pep's joy at dramatic win as City rises to third

MANCHESTER, England — Pep Guardiola admitted his wild celebration of Matheus Nunes' stoppage-time winner against Aston Villa felt strange, because Manchester City doesn't score as many late goals as its Premier League rivals.

Nunes fired City to a crucial 2-1 victory over top-five rival Villa in the fourth minute of stoppage-time at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Guardiola responded to the midfielder's composed finish from an acute angle by launching into a frenzied, fist-pumping dance of joy, capped by a primal roar that underlined the significance of the result.
