Manchester City’s Fernandinho started the night by finding the bottom of the at the 5-minute mark. However, the referee’s assistant spoiled their celebration as the offside flag was hoisted. 

The goal was disallowed as Sergio Aguero was caught in an offside position. Kevin de Bruyne was awarded a free-kick at the 22-minute mark as he was fouled by Wilfred Ndidi. 

de Bruyne botched the free-kick and Leicester’s Timothy Castagne clears the ball. Another free-kick was awarded to Manchester City as Ndidi committed another foul to de Bruyne.

The second goal proved to be a critical blow for Leicester as they failed to answer back until the full-time whistle blew. Leicester’s Jamie Vardy had several attempts in the first half for the Foxes but all ended in naught. 

Foxes’ manager Rodgers admitted that they got “disorganized.” He further added, “We lost to the better team. The players kept going and we had some good chances but we can have no complaints.” 

Rodgers hoped to sweep this season’s match-up against Manchester City as they earlier beat Guardiola’s squad in a big 5 – 2 win at the Etihad Stadium last September. 

Nonetheless, Leicester still hopes to end the season in the top four to secure a spot at next season’s UEFA Champions League group stages. 

Manchester City’s manager Guardiola said that this season is unforgettable given the run they made for this season’s Premier League title.
