Despite being completely outplayed in the first half, Leicester City showed great spirit and took the score as close as 4-3, after, but Manchester City proved to be too good of an opposition for the Foxes and survived a spirited Leicester City fightback to earn a thrilling 6-3 victory with second half goals from Laporte and Sterling.
PEP 💬 At 4-2 the mindset of the players change, and at 4-3 we are closer to losing and we have doubts. But we were patient, we had chances and won the game.
