Man City 2-0 Leicester: Jack Grealish ends Premier League goal drought as City maintain Champions League push
Pep Guardiola watched on from the stands as Man City eased to victory over the Premier League strugglers
Jack Grealish scored his first Premier League goal for 16 months as Manchester City eased to a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday to keep alive their hopes of Champions League qualification for next season.
Grealish netted inside two minutes and Omar Marmoush added a second goal as City moved into fourth place in the table with 51 points from 30 games. Leicester are in 19th with 17 points from the same number of matches, 12 points from relegation safety.
It was far from a vintage City performance but they controlled the game throughout and were helped by Grealish’s early strike that settled any nerves there might have been coming into the game.
