    Most of the people around me still haven't sat down. That was Vincent Kompany's firsrt goal of the season. What a time to get it - and how.

    Manchester City 1-0 Leicester

    Man City have now scored 100 goals in all competitions at the Etihad this season; extending their record for most home goals by an English top-flight team in a single campaign.

    And what a way to do it!

    That was incredible piece of football from of all people, Vincent Kompany! An absolute wonder strike from the captain!

    Will Guardiola keep it like this? Will Leicester go for it?

    GOAL - Manchester City 1-0 Leicesterpublished at 70 mins

    Vincent Kompany

    WOOWWWWWW!!!

    He's already a club legend, but Vincent Kompany may well have just scored the goal which wins the title! It's not just a routine header from a corner though, oh no. No, no, no!

    Leicester sit off the captain as he gets the ball 30 yards from goal, he takes a few steps towards goal and then unleashes an absolute cannon into the top corner!

    Like a shot at the Crucible, he bent it around the blue (in the form of Harry Maguire) and pinged it into the top corner. Outside of the boot. Crazy goal...

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 70 mins

    Manchester City 0-0 Leicester

    WHAT a save! That is brilliant from Kasper Schmeichel! Manchester City finall get the ball into the penalty area, Sergio Aguero has the strength of a bull to hold off Harry Maguire and flick a left-footed shot on goal, it looks to be past Schmeichel but he throws up a hand to stop it.

    Massive.

    Leicester just pinned inside their half now. Their area really. Is there a breakthrough for the hosts or does this brilliant title race take another decisive turn tonight?!

    Leicester old-boy Riyad Mahrez was just warming up in between his old Foxes team-mates.

    When he made his club record £60m switch to Manchester City last summer, I don't imagine he thought he would be on the bench on nights like this.

    Twenty-five to go. When do Liverpool fans dare to believe?

    Here's how the table looks of course...

    Dan Wareing: I can’t deal with the nerves of this game. Just want to switch off and crawl into a hole for a half an hour

    Adam P: I'm a Barnsley fan and I want Liverpool to win the league just for a bit of variety. It's all money fuelled at the top but no one wants a league that's won before it's begun. Isn't that why Rodgers came back?

    Sean: I'd a kept Foden on, subbed David Silva off, brought on Sane, and reshuffled a wee bit

    RE: Penalty appeal at 60 minutes. Seen it again - I reckon Choudhury gets the ball first.

    NEVER doubt Mike Dean.

    Manchester City 0-0 Leicester

    WHAT a goal that would have been!

    Harry Maguire cuts the ball out inside his own penalty area, brings it out, sells a dummy to David Silva then sets off down the left wing. Where's he going?!

    All the way that's where. Still he goes, into the City half, finds James Maddison outside the area, he lets fly - just wide!

    Sensational from the Sheffield Sammer...

    Manchester City had scored by this point in each of their previous 18 home Premier League games this season (prior to today their latest opening goal at the Etihad came vs West Ham in February in the 59th minute).

    The home fans are upping the ante here, with chant after chant to urge their side forward, and they are upping the volume too, especially when Mike Dean turned down City's penalty appeals for that challenge on Raheem Sterling.

    Stand by for a nerve-jangling final 30 minutes, especially for those inside the Etihad.

    It was very close, Choudhury does get a touch on the ball. David Silva got a touch on another one earlier, and was booked. A frustrating one for Manchester City.

    Leicester can't get out. Pinned back. Against the ropes. Covering up.

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 60 mins

    Manchester City 0-0 Leicester

    Eeeeshhhhh...

    Raheem Sterling turns inside the area, he's sandwiched by two Leicester men and screams for a penalty. Mike Dean says get on with it.

    Strong tackle from Hamza Choudhury - the replays suggest that may have been a tough call on the hosts...

    Paul Lake

    Leicester are having to defend deeper, and with Sane on the pitch there will be an injection of pace and quality around the box - which they certainly missed in the first half.

    Manchester City playing with a front four or five now, stretching the pitch. It's still patient, waiting for the overlap, Kyle Walker finds Ilkay Gundogan outside the box and he bends a low shot just wide...
