THAT WAS A FINE SECOND-HALF PERFORMANCE FROM THE CHAMPIONS. The pressure told in the end. Manchester City

consolidate

second place, on 57 points, moving seven points clear of Leicester (50) who are in turn six clear of fourth-placed Chelsea (44). Liverpool can restore their 22-point lead with victory over West Ham on Monday night, but the reigning champs have served notice that they’ll not be giving up anything until the chase is mathematically

impossible.

FULL TIME: LEICESTER CITY 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY The champions cut the lead at the top to 19 points, thanks to a late strike by Gabriel Jesus.

90 MIN +2: Perez comes on for Fuchs. It’s fair to say Brendan Rodgers has probably left this switch too late.

90 MIN +1: De Bruyne takes the ball to the corner in the professional

style.

8h ago 14:18

90 MIN: Leicester throw a few folk forward. But Chilwell gives the ball away a couple of times with options ahead of him, and the crowd groan, the jig nearly up. Leicester have three minutes to save

themselves.

8h ago 14:17

88 MIN: Leicester have scored 12 goals after the 80th minute this season. But they haven’t looked like finding a lucky 13th. They’ve barely had a sniff since Manchester City

took the lead.

The champions are closing this game out with cold precision.

8h ago 14:15

87 MIN: Jesus turns Fuchs this way and that down the right. He nearly finds Mahrez with a flick inside, but Schmeichel claims. Leicester then give up possession cheaply, allowing Bernardo Silva to slash a shot across Schmeichel and wide of the right-hand post.

85 MIN: Leicester replace Praet with Matty James, making his first

Premier League

appearance for nearly two years.

8h ago 14:11

83 MIN: It’s fair to say that goal had been coming. Can Leicester respond somehow? It’s going to be difficult, with Manchester City hogging the ball like only Manchester City

can.

Twitter

8h ago 14:10

81 MIN: There’s a VAR check for a marginal offside, but the goal correctly stands. Manchester City

are finally

allowed to celebrate. On the touchline, Pep Guardiola raises his arms and cracks a wide grin. What a substitution!

GOAL! LEICESTER CITY 0-1 MANCHESTER CITY (JESUS 80)

Manchester City

break upfield. Mahrez flicks delicately down the inside-right channel, releasing Jesus into the box. Jesus draws Schmeichel and fizzes a low shot into the bottom right.

79 MIN: Vardy spins away from Fernandinho and makes off down the left. He reaches the box, but with Barnes in the middle, crosses way too

high.

8h ago 14:06

78 MIN: Jesus involves himself quickly, dropping a shoulder to cut in from the right. He shoots from the edge of the box. It’s a dribbler, though, and an easy claim for Schmeichel.

8h ago 14:04

77 MIN: Aguero is replaced by Jesus.

Twitter

8h ago 14:04

75 MIN: Barnes slips clear down the right, Fernandinho having over-committed to a slide tackle. He finds Ricardo in the box. Ricardo leans back, eight yards out, and ... hoicks harmlessly over the bar. Not a gilt-edged chance, but decent enough against the champions with time running out. Accordingly, he holds his head in his hands.

74 MIN: ... De Bruyne loops straight into the arms of Schmeichel. An uncharacteristically poor delivery by the brilliant Belgian.

71 MIN: Mendy bustles down the inside left and into the Leicester box. Things nearly open up for him ... but he loses control at the last minute, and the chance to shoot is gone.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:59

70 MIN: Chilwell breezes down the left and wins a corner off Walker. The corner’s half cleared. Ricardo traps, sizes up the situation, and dinks a ball down the inside left for Vardy, who lashes a languid Le Tissieresque volley wide left. He had more time than he thought.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:57

68 MIN: Ricardo is clipped out on the right touchline, and here’s a chance for Leicester to load the box and make the Manchester City

defence do some

work. Maddison’s delivery isn’t much cop, though. Leicester’s fast start to the second half seems a long time ago.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:55

67 MIN: Vardy has the chance to set Barnes clear down the inside-right channel, though the situation requires a well-struck precision pass. It doesn’t get one. But that’s a rare sortie upfield from the hosts, who have been under the cosh for a while now.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:53

65 MIN: Despite the penalty miss, Manchester City

continue to pile

on the pressure. Mahrez sashays down the right and stands one up for Aguero, but Soyuncu rises to flick a header clear.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:52

63 MIN: Almost immediately, it’s Aguero v Schmeichel II. And once again, the keeper wins, as Aguero nips down the inside-right channel, sending a snapshot towards the bottom right from six yards. Schmeichel sticks out a foot to kick out for a corner, and the resulting set piece comes to nought.

Facebook

Twitter

8h ago 13:51

62 MIN: AGUERO MISSES! Or, more to the point, Schmeichel saves. Aguero smashes it towards the bottom left. Schmeichel guesses correctly and parries the ball away from goal!

61 MIN: PENALTY FOR MAN CITY! Praet had his back turned, but his arm was well away from his body. It’s the correct decision, though Leicester will feel aggrieved after the De Bruyne incident in the

first half.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:48

60 MIN: Bernardo Silva burns down the right and wins a corner. From the set piece, Gundogan has a batter. The ball deflects off Praet’s elbow and out for a corner. Manchester City

surround the

referee. They want a penalty kick. They may well get one.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:47

58 MIN: Laporte is replaced by Otamendi. On the touchline, Pep is fuming about something or other, screaming at his players, having made some sort of tactical observation. He’s animated.

Twitter

9h ago 13:45

57 MIN: More Manchester City

passing.

Metronomic.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:44

55 MIN: Leicester can’t get out of their final third. Manchester

City doing an

awful lot of probing. Evans and Soyuncu win a couple of last-ditch headers, Mendy and Mahrez swinging balls in from either flank.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:41

53 MIN: Rodri latches onto a loose Tielemans pass in the middle and wheechs upfield. He slips a ball left for De Bruyne, who sends a low heatseeker towards the bottom left. Schmeichel claims confidently. A fine save and even better handling. De Bruyne really creamed that.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:39

51 MIN: Manchester City

get their foot

on the ball properly for the first time since the restart. They don’t really do much with it, but re-establishing a modicum of control is their main goal.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:37

49 MIN: Ricardo scampers down the right and fires a low cross towards Vardy. The ball’s a bit behind the striker, who attempts to backflick it towards Chilwell, coming in from the other side. Not quite. This is an impressive start to the second half from the hosts.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:36

48 MIN: Barnes busies himself in the centre circle and is upended by a slightly panicked Rodri. Just a garden-variety foul, but another sign that the Leicester sub could pose the visitors a few problems.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:35

46 MIN: Barnes is immediately in the thick of the action, tearing into a huge gap vacated by Mendy out on the Leicester right. He’s got Vardy waiting in the middle, poised to tap in, but can’t find him.

Manchester City

are still in the changing room.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:34

LEICESTER GET THE SECOND HALF UNDERWAY. Barnes replaces Iheanacho, who isn’t fit to continue having been clattered by Ederson. The rain’s clearing up, incidentally, so no chance of a weather-related abandonment. On which subject, here’s Justin Horton: “While everybody is enjoying Top Premiership Football on television, perhaps spare a thought for these lads

, who

travelled from Essex to Arbroath to watch the fixture at Gayfield Park today ... a game that was abandoned at half-time due to the wind.” > Ian wren (@spuggywren) > This is what #Football

HALF TIME: LEICESTER CITY 0-0 MANCHESTER CITY To popular acclaim, the former Leicester player shanks a dismal free kick wide left, and that’s the end of the first half. The champions have had a goal disallowed, while Leicester could (argue amongst yourselves) have had two penalties. No idea how this is still goalless, but it’s been a lot of fun. Don’t go anywhere!

9h ago 13:17

45 MIN +2: Aguero comes back at Leicester, gliding in from the right and buying a cheap free kick off Soyuncu. This is just to the right of the D. Mahrez looks like he fancies a crack at this one.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:16

45 MIN +1: Ricardo romps up the right, but loses possession, allowing

Manchester City

to counter at speed. De Bruyne clips Aguero clear down the inside-left channel. Aguero draws Schmeichel and curls it round the keeper, off the right-hand post and in. But the flag’s up for offside, correctly so. Aguero was a mile off.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:15

45 MIN: There will be two added minutes.

9h ago 13:13

43 MIN: Ricardo cuts in from the right and has a dig from the edge of the box. Easy pickings for Ederson, who is now getting booed every time he touches the ball.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:12

42 MIN: Iheanacho gets up and walks off. He’ll be back in a second. Maddison meanwhile takes the corner, from which Tielemans has a whack that’s blocked and cleared. And then Iheanacho comes back on.

Facebook

Twitter

9h ago 13:11

41 MIN: But before it can be taken, Iheanacho needs lengthy treatment. He took a rare old whack there. Anywhere else on the pitch, and that collision would have been deemed a foul. But keepers are keepers. Leicester want a penalty, but they’re not getting one. Kelechi Iheanacho collides with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson. Photograph: Nick Potts/PA Updated at 1.30pm EST
