Gary Neville spotted what Pep Guardiola did that he hasn't done in a 'long time' following Manchester City's dramatic winner against Aston Villa.

Man City beat Villa 2-1 at the Etihad on Tuesday in a huge boost to their Champions League push.

The hosts opened the scoring in the seventh minute when Bernardo Silva converted Omar Marmoush's pass.

But the visitors hit back 11 minutes later after they were awarded a penalty following a VAR review.

Ruben Dias was adjudged to have fouled Jacob Ramsey as match referee Craig Pawson overturned his decision, with Neville noticing something inside the stadium - asking if it was allowed on air.

Marcus Rashford coolly slotted home the resulting penalty to make it 1-1.

Both teams seemed destined to share the points until the 94th minute.

Jeremy Doku created an opening before setting up Matheus Nunes, who found the back of the net to claim his side's winner.

On the touchline, Guardiola celebrated wildly and couldn't contain himself, with his reaction summing up the magnitude of Man City's victory.

His animated celebration didn't go unnoticed by Neville, who suggested the Spaniard hasn't celebrated like that in a 'long, long time'.

On Sky Sports commentary, Neville said: "I've not seen him celebrate like that for a long, long time, Pep Guardiola."

It's a huge win for Man City, who climb up to third place in the Premier League table.

Nottingham Forest, who beat Tottenham on Monday, and Newcastle United sit in fourth and fifth respectively.

As for Villa, they occupy seventh place and are two points adrift of Newcastle. Chelsea are sixth in the table.

Speaking after Man City's 2-1 victory, Nunes said: "It was very important. This was a very tough game, a very tough opponent. We came with the mentality that we needed to win and that’s what happened. We will see at the end of the season how big it will be. Every three points will be very important. We will go for the three points."
