(Leicester City 0-2 Manchester City) Benjamin Mendy (26) and Gabriel Jesus (24) fixed the goals when home team Leicester could not resist the league leaders in the maximum settlement.
Premier League leaders Manchester City took a well-deserved win against Leicester in third place, but it was almost an hour before the first goal came.
After 59 minutes, Mendy’s defensive line created a counterattack down the middle that gave Kasper Schmeichel a good look at the goal, but his shot bounced safely off the crossbar.
Leicester tried valiantly to excel, but was fouled on the second goal. Kevin De Bruyne played even Jesus wonderfully. The Brazilian combined with Raheem Sterling and recovered the ball. He could easily make it 2-0 with just over a quarter of an hour left in ordinary time.

– You never know after a selection break, but I trust my players. So I gave to some of those who haven’t played that much at the last opportunity. The Premier League is the best tournament to win, it’s over 11 months old and it’s very tough. We need three more wins, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola summed up to Sky Sports.
– What we have done so far is incredible. No spectator blocking: all the games we have been “in”. “I will never forget this season,” Guardiola told the BBC.

Manchester City had the most of the ball, as usual, in the first 45 minutes. Riyhad Mahrez, Sergio Agüero and De Bruyne created great chances. The latter with a free kick on the crossbar.
In addition, Fernandinho also had a run at the net early in the match, but Agüero was offside, and in the way of Schmeichel, so he was correctly disallowed.
Thus, Manchester City is now 17 points less than Manchester United in second place – the Blues with two most played games. Leicester, third, is 18 points behind (with one most played game). Chelsea, who lost a shocking 2-5 at home to the WBA earlier today, are still five points behind Leicester. They have both played 30 games.
P.S.! Manchester City will play next Tuesday at home against Borussia Dortmund and Erling Braut Haaland in the Champions League. Then there is Leeds in the league. Leicester will face West Ham in the league next weekend.
