Manchester City 2-1 Leicester City REPORT

Manchester City 2-1 Leicester City – May 2017

[ Premier League 2017 Match ]

29′ 1 – 0 David Silva scores the opening goal at half hour mark to put City on their way in crucial premier league game.

36′ 2 – 0 Gabriel Jesus converted the penalty to make it 2-0 and at that point, City were cruising.

42′ 2 – 1 Shinji Okazaki scored what was a stunning first time volley goal from Albrighton’s wiped in cross.

Manchester City's record-breaking start to the Premier League season continued with a dominant display against Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Goals either side of half-time from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne, both of them lovely moves from Pep Guardiola's team, saw City win 2-0 to stretch their lead at the top of the table to nine points ahead of Manchester United's home game against Newcastle on Saturday evening.

It was an 11th victory in the first 12 Premier League matches and meant City extended their club record run of consecutive wins in all competitions to 16 fixtures.

Leicester's response was good. Vardy twice got in behind the City defence and although he was narrowly offside on each occasion, it gave the visitors something to think about.

Guardiola's side comfortably saw out the remainder of the match, though, and would have added to their lead had it not been for some last-ditch defending from Claude Puel's men, who tasted defeat under their recently-appointed manager for the first time.
