Haaland seals Man City victory at King Power with 2-0 win over Leicester

Man City secured a 2-0 victory at King Power Stadium, with Savinho scoring in the first half and Haaland adding a second in the second half. Guardiola’s team temporarily moved up to fifth in the Premier League standings, while Leicester remain in the relegation zone, sitting third from bottom.

Leicester’s Choudhary made a run down the right wing, but his cutback to the top of the box found no takers. Later, the hosts brought on Alves to replace Mavididi, while City made several substitutions, including McAtee, who saw his shot sail over the bar.

Al Jazeera reported that with five minutes of stoppage time signaled, Leicester made a double substitution, bringing on Okoli and Daka for Winks and Coady. A header from Vardy was tipped away by City’s goalkeeper Ortega, and Choudhary’s shot from the right side of the box rolled just wide.

Despite Leicester’s pressure after the break, Haaland completed a brilliant team move with a solid header, marking his 14th goal of the season and his first in five games.

As things stand, Man City move to 31 points from 19 games, in fifth place.
