EPL: Man City secures 2-0 victory over Leicester
Manchester City cruised to a 2-0 victory against Leicester City in their Premier League clash, with goals from Savinho and Erling Haaland.
The victory ensured that the defending champions left the King Power Stadium with all three points, bouncing back from a draw against Everton.
Savinho opened the scoring in the 21st minute, displaying clinical precision from a rebound to give City the lead.
Leicester struggled to respond as the visitors controlled some of the tempo of the game.
The Foxes’ frustrations became evident in the second half, with Boubakary Soumaré and Bilal El Khannous both receiving yellow cards in the 56th and 65th minutes, respectively.
City doubled their advantage in the 74th minute, with Haaland calmly slotting home a header from an assist from Savinho.
The Norwegian striker’s goal effectively sealed the result, leaving Leicester with no way back into the match.
Manchester City’s defensive discipline was also notable, as they kept a clean sheet despite a yellow card for Stefan Ortega in the 78th minute.
