Manchester City secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over a struggling Leicester side, extending the Foxes’ scoreless streak to seven matches.
Pep Guardiola’s men climbed to fourth in the race for a Champions League spot, temporarily overtaking Chelsea, while Leicester’s dire form continued, with 14 defeats in their last 15 matches dragging them closer to relegation.
The game was a one-sided affair from the outset, with City taking the lead within two minutes.
Jack Grealish, breaking a 14-month Premier League goal drought, capitalized on Savinho’s cross to find the back of the net.
With Erling Haaland unavailable, Omar Marmoush led the attack and doubled City’s lead after pouncing on a misplaced throw by Mads Hermansen, smashing his shot off the crossbar and in.
Leicester barely posed a threat, failing to record a single shot on target. Their xG of 0.02 was the lowest by any Premier League team this season, surpassing Newcastle’s 0.04 against Crystal Palace.
