Manchester City lose again as Ricardo Pereira hits shock winner for Leicester

sportjyst-Manchester City lose again as Ricardo Pereira hits shock winner for Leicester

Manchester City’s unhappy Christmas continued as Leicester fought back from a goal down to inflict another defeat on the champions, who also had Fabian Delph sent off. Pep Guardiola’s side thus fell below Tottenham Hotspur to third in the table, seven points adrift off leaders Liverpool. The title is a two-horse race? The city hopes not.

Leicester deserved to add the scalp of Pep Guardiola’s team to that of Chelsea, which they claimed on Saturday. They did so thanks to a superb long-range goal by Ricardo Pereira eight minutes from time. Marc Albrighton had headed an equalizer in the first half, five minutes after Bernardo Silva shot the visitors in the lead.
