Ricardo Pereira’s Rocket Help Leicester Stun Manchester City

Leicester City made it two high profile wins in a row after seeing off defending Champions Manchester City 2-1.

City went ahead through a Bernardo Silva strike inside the first 15 minutes, but Albrighton equalised just five minutes later with a deft header and the Foxes looked the better side thereafter.

They pressed and harried City and got their reward as Pereira hit a thunderous effort to put the hosts 2-1 up! Delph got himself sent off late on to put an end to City’s slim hopes of a comeback.

With the result, Manchester City slip into third and seven points off league leaders Liverpool, who won 4-0 at home against Newcastle today, and Guardiola will look for an immediate response against Southampton next time out. Meanwhile, Leicester face the visit of Cardiff City.
