Leicester City has caused an unprecedented stunt on Sunday by declassifying Manchester City in the Etihad Stadium. In Manchester City it became no less than 2-5 for the team of Brendan Rodgers. Jamie Vardy was the big man by a hat-trick.
City, which started with Nathan Aké in the starting line-up, got off to a great start and came 1-0 after four minutes through a great goal from Riyad Mahrez. After Rodri’s disqualified 2-0, however, the game turned. After a foul by Kyle Walker on Jamie Vardy, the latter equalized from the spot: 1-1.
From then on, the game was dominated by Leicester. Arrived after rest The Foxes on a deserved lead. Vardy was again accurate, this time he scored with a heel ball from behind the standing leg. When the English striker (again from the dot) also made 1-3, the game was over. City appeared unrecognizable and could not do anything about the backlog. The best goal of the afternoon came from James Maddison, who passed goalkeeper Ederson with a beautiful bow ball in the intersection.
Aké then scored his first goal for City, but it was not enough to give the game some tension again. Leicester took even further distance and did so again from the dot. But not Vardy, but Youri Tielemans set the final score at 2-5.
City has the chance to repair the damage on Wednesday in the eighth final of the League Cup against Burnley. Leeds United awaits in the league next Saturday. Leicester hits West Bromwich Albion.
