    FT: Man City 6-3 Leicester! When we went in at half-time the score was 4-0 to the home side. However, a great reaction from Leicester put Guardiola's side on the ropes. Three quick goals from Maddison, Lookman and Iheanacho put the spice into the game. But the Sky Blue had everything under control and scored two more goals from corners, the first from Laporte and the second from Sterling.
