The win sees Pep Guardiola’s side maintain their unbeaten record this season and extend their lead atop the standings.

It was Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus who broke the deadlock after 23 minutes, heading home a pinpoint cross from Kevin De Bruyne. The away side doubled their advantage just before halftime through a devastating strike from Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian winger cut inside from the right flank and unleashed a powerful shot that curled into the top corner. Leicester offered little threat to the City defense throughout the game, with the likes of Jamie Vardy and James Maddison struggling to make an impact. In the second half, Phil Foden added a third goal for City after a well-worked team move. Bernardo Silva completed the rout in stoppage time, tapping in a low cross from Joao Cancelo. The goal marked only Leicester’s second conceded in the league this season. Manchester City’s victory sees them extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 14 matches. They now sit five points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who drew 1-1 with Southampton on Sunday. For Leicester, the defeat was a major setback in their bid for a top-four finish. Brendan Rodgers’ side remains in 12th place, nine points adrift of the Champions League places. Manchester City will face Brighton & Hove Albion away in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday before returning to Premier League action against Southampton next weekend. Leicester, meanwhile, will travel to West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday.
