Manchester City has finally broken their winless streak with a commanding 2-0 victory against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. The triumph comes as a significant relief for Pep Guardiola’s side, which had endured a dismal run of just one win in their previous 13 matches, coupled with nine defeats and three draws.
City’s resurgence was sparked by Savinho’s clinical finish in the 21st minute, giving them an early lead. Erling Haaland sealed the win in the 74th minute with a trademark strike, solidifying their position in the top five of the league table. This victory lifts City to fifth place with 31 points from 19 matches, although they still trail league leaders Liverpool by 11 points. Liverpool, under Arne Slot, has played only 17 matches, maintaining their dominance in the league.
Leicester City, on the other hand, continues to struggle. The team has now suffered four consecutive defeats, leaving them in the relegation zone, 18th on the table. Hamza Choudhury, who entered as a substitute in the 70th minute, couldn’t prevent another loss for his team.
In other league action, Nottingham Forest climbed to second place after a 2-0 win over Everton, while Tottenham and Fulham shared points in 2-2 draws against Wolverhampton and Bournemouth, respectively.
