City goes third as Leicester continue in their downhill slide


As expected City took all three points with raising Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus scoring both goals to go third in the table.  Meantime Champions Leicester suffered a humiliating home defeat at the hands of United.

City did what was expected of them by beating Swansea 2-1 with the Swans giving Guardiola‘s team a hard time in obtaining the three points.

The men in blue dominated throughout the first half but managed to score just once through Brazilian rising star Gabriel Jesus after 11′ play.

On the other hand Swansea made their comeback in the second 45′, as they took advantage from the lack of intensity the Citizens put in their play and managed to equalize in the 81′ from Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The goal seemed to awaken Guardiola‘s team who scored again from Gabriel Jesus in injury time to collect all three points and move up to a solitary third place with 49 points.

No wonder in his last press conference Chelsea‘s manager Antonio Conte indicated Guardiola‘s team as their most dangerous rival for the title chase even if the gap between the two now stands to 10 points.

In the other match played yesterday saw Champions Leicester‘s last season’s magic evaporate as they suffered their fourth defeat in a row, leaving them a point above relegation zone.

Against United, the Foxes suffered a humiliating defeat going down heavily 0-3 without ever causing worry to the Red Devil’s defence.

Mourinho‘s team scored twice just before the break from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic assisted as usual from Ranieri‘s bad defending.

Mata added a third when play resumed.  Three points which put United back on track to finish in the top-four as they are now a point behind Liverpool and two behind Arsenal.
