Hello, welcome to 1874, full-time.

I'm your host, Dan Bardell, joined by Jacob Tanswell from The Athletic to look back on

Aston Villa 1, Manchester City, nil, unbelievable night under the lights at Villa Park.

This show is sponsored by NordVPN and we'll hear a little bit more about what they have to offer later on in the show.

Jacob, I'm still on Cloud 9. I know you're not a Villa fan, but you obviously been covering Villa for the entirety of the season.

And you text me last night, absolutely buzzing.

But I just saw, today, it's sort of spring of my step. Like, even at the game yesterday, I could not believe what I was watching.

I was like, you have to watch this game. I couldn't believe. And, you know, at full time, you know, towards the end, I was just really hoping that Villa kept that 1-0 lead.

And when they did, I had a really hoping that really kept that 1-0 lead.
