BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Manchester City are three wins away from a third Premier League title in four years thanks to a 2-1 win at Aston Villa on Wednesday, with the sending-off of Villa defender Matty Cash in the second half proving crucial.

City had hit back from conceding a goal after 20 seconds to lead 2-1 before defender John Stones was sent off before the break, but Cash's two quick yellow cards allowed the visitors to coast to victory.
