Bernardo Silva’s solitary goal was the difference as Manchester City beat Leicester City to record our third consecutive win in the Premier League.
The Portuguese playmaker fired home from close range to give Pep Guardiola’s men a 62nd minute lead after Joao Cancelo’s low drive deflected into his path off Cagalar Soyuncu.
It sealed a deserved victory for City, who might have enjoyed a more convincing win but for the brilliance of Kasper Schmeichel, who made save after save at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes captain had denied Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres and Bernardo before we broke the deadlock against the stubborn Foxes, who had a handful of dangerous opportunities themselves.
Ederson did well to keep out Harvey Barnes’ and Ademola Lookman’s efforts, with the latter also sending a header against the top of the crossbar, whilst Jamie Vardy had a goal ruled out for offside.
