The goals came from Savinho and Erling Haaland. Savinho opened the scoring in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a rebound from Phil Foden's long shot that was pushed into his path by Leicester goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk. Haaland doubled City's lead in the 74th minute, heading home a looping cross from Savinho, who had received a pass from Kevin de Bruyne[3].
Despite the win, Manchester City's performance was not without its challenges. Leicester had several promising opportunities, including a potential penalty early in the game when Jamie Vardy was brought down by goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, only to be saved by the offside flag. Leicester also had a close call in the second half when James Justin's touch on a Vardy header was cleared off the line by Manuel Akanji[3].
The victory lifted Manchester City to fifth place in the Premier League standings, with 31 points, while Leicester remains in the relegation zone in 18th place[2].
