Manchester City relieved a comfortable victory over Leicester City Wednesday night without having to leave the second team at Etihad Stadium.
The first goal of Jack Grealish’s Premier League in 15 months and the fifth part of Omar Marmoush in eight appearances in the league since January, made the difference, all in the first half.
The city is fourth at the table, but it could be pushed to fifth in the event that Chelsea came out victorious on Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening. In the meantime, Leicester has lost seven games in a row and there are 12 security points with only eight games.
As the game was deployed
It was a dream start for the city, turning the first real opportunity of the game during the initial two minutes. Jeremy Doku, who advanced. When the work moved to Savinho, Grealish occupied the position of the penalty spot and became clinically converted when the Brazilian wing cut arrived.
City sought a second fast, with waves of attacks that did not produce another quick chance. Leicester threatened an equalt with the play play when Bilal The Khannouss did not miss the goal much from outside the box, but Marmoush extended half an hour from the home.
From the site of Erling Haaland, the January signing was the beneficiary of some terrible goalkeepers of Mads Hermansen, who spilled a encrypted ball in the box who found his way to Marmoul’s feet. With an open goal in front of him, it could not be lost.
Hermansen redeemed a little towards the end of the first half with a maximum savings to deny Savinho, while Marmoush was looking for a third in the city.
The second half started as a training exercise, with the city camping in the territory of Leicester. Wout Faes took the possibility of Nico O’Reilly, before Marmoush continued to make an effort near the top of the Baixa Baja de Doku.
With the city with a large amount of space and joy in wide areas, a change of Leicester in the middle of the second half saw that Ruud Van Nistelrooy was trying to address it. Suddenly, there was more pressure and greater physicality when the ball was played on the city’s allers and the full part.
But it was a little too late from Leicester. So, while they were able to contain the city, the hosts had been comfortable and they still refused to give up more than in possession.
Towards the end of the game, there was a first senior appearance from the August community shield for Oscar Bobb, after spending the last nine months recovering from a broken leg. The January signing in Vitor Reis also debuted in the Premier League as a replacement for stoppage time.

Bournemouth was made by the city to work hard for a place in the semifinals of the Copa Fa, so this party was a welcome return to the Premier League action in a comfortable way.
No matter how much you look at it, a home game against a side relegation on the face is favorable for a team like Manchester City. The result was never in doubt only 100 or seconds.
After the weekend, Pep Guardiola mixed his package. There was no Erling Haaland because of injuries, seeing that Omar Marmoush first started in Omar Marmoush in the role of the “new number” in the Premier League, having previously played a little deeper or wider. A few days after cleaning the winner against Bournemouth, he continued to show why City was big on the winter window.
Kevin de Bruyne, Mateo Kovacic and Phil Foden fell on the bench, with Abdukhodir Khusanov left out of the party’s day, a rotation decision instead of injury injuries.
It meant returns for Savinho and Jeremy Doku, both best performers in this one, and an opportunity for Jack Grealish, who took breaking the deadline in two minutes. This goal was the first to the Premier League for men of 100 million pounds, not only this season, but since December 2023.
The lack of city proponents and a yellow card for the aforementioned Khusanov in the first half against Bournemouth caused Nico O’reilly to appear on the bench as a left place in that game. It is not a position that the attacking midfielder is used to, and he was not tried defensively, as Bournemouth began to fade, but he changed the game advancing.
That party performance was translated into the first Premier League, and only his third global appearance in the competition, as a left.
Matheus Nunes has requested that the opposite flank be filled out in recent weeks and had a rough time when defending one by one. O’reilly undoubtedly benefited from facing a strong attacked Leicester, who was the second worst in the league this season, but will serve as a great impulse of trust for a young player who has just started.
Leicester has now failed to score in seven successive parties in the Premier League. But when they do not even get the attempts, it is not uncommon why. Here were two shots, not in Target.
The Foxes last scored a league goal (two of them) during a victory over Tottenham Hotspur in January. Since then they have lost their seven games and have only taken three points in the last 45.
Before Christmas, a higher half was easily. It advances quickly in April and the championship is achieved with one of the lowest points of the Premier League.
