Leicester City’s dogged resolve was undone by a stunning Kevin De Bruyne free-kick which earned Manchester City three points and a place atop the Premier League table on Saturday lunchtime.

Brendan Rodgers outlined the key to keeping out City pre-game. “It’s all about denying space," he explained. "If the space is there, they’ll exploit it." Adhering to their manager's instructions, Leicester were quick to drop into a compact 5-4-1 off the ball, narrowing any gaps between the lines.

Limiting the Haaland-less visitors to snatched glimpses of their goal in the opening quarter, Leicester grew in confidence, picking their moments to creep out of the huddled rear-guard.
