Jamie Vardy scored in the 22nd minute to hand Leicester the lead but their ex-midfielder Riyad Mahrez equalised in the 30th minute, cutting in from the right and scoring with a low shot that took a wicked deflection off Caglar Soyuncu and left Kasper Schmeichel in goal helpless.

Three minutes before halftime, Ilkay Gundogan converted a penalty into the bottom corner to give Man City the lead after Ricardo Pereira lunged in on Raheem Sterling inside the box to give away a spot kick.Gabriel Jesus then added gloss to the scorline in the 66th minute with a neat finish as Man City remained a point behind second-placed Leicester and 11 behind the leaders Liverpool who won the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar on the same night.
