    James Stanton: Am I the only one that thinks this Caglar Soyuncu guy can fit City's defence like a glove?

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    Here comes the first Man City change.

    Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante, better known as Rodrigo, or Rodri, depends where you read, comes on for Gabriel Jesus.

    12 to go.

    This is a fine effort from the champions.

    They responded so well to going a goal down.

    Man City look as though they're on course to narrowing the gap between them and Leicester to one point.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    A last Leicester change.

    Youri Tielemans is replaced by fellow countryman Dennis Praet.

    Gabriel Jesus netted his first goal in 12 home games for Manchester City in all competitions, since netting against Schalke in March.

    Each of his last 14 goals for the club before today had been scored away from the Etihad.

    That is how good Jesus is. You think he is still playing rubbish but then he pops up with a great goal. Game over.

    Kevin de Bruyne running the show for Man City again.

    He wants a goal to his name now, but his left-footed shot from the angle is tipped over by Kasper Schmeichel.

    All Man City.

    Riyad Mahrez looking for another but his thumping drive smashes Caglar Soyuncu in the...

    sensitive area.

    Kevin de Bruyne has been absolutely magnificent tonight.

    The Belgian missed too many games to be effective last season but he seems to have got his form back.

    Leicester have not been able to keep him quiet.

    Leicester looking to pull one back but Ilkay Gundogan halts Jamie Vardy's run with a trip from behind.

    Lee Hendrie
    Former Aston Villa midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That third goal is deserved if I'm honest.

    Kasper Schmeichel made a great save a short while ago but he couldn't do anything about that one.

    It's all City at the moment.

    Kevin De Bruyne gets all the praise for the creation of the goal.

    Brilliant stuff from De Bruyne to power into the box and put it on a plate for Gabriel Jesus.

    GOAL - Man City 3-1 Leicesterpublished at 18:57 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2019

    Gabriel Jesus (69 mins)

    And some of you lot were saying about Gabriel Jesus?

    This is made by Kevin de Bruyne, obv, ghosting past Caglar Soyuncu and rolling a pass across the back post for Jesus to tap home four days before Christmas.

    Points in the bag?

    What a keeper Kasper Schmeichel is. Like a fine wine he gets better with age.

    No, no, no.

    Ayoze Perez's eyes light but with the ball at his feet on the angle of the box, but he blazes a horrible shot way over.

    Daniel Potter: How on earth is that not a penalty and red card for Ederson? takes out Barnes completely with no contact with ball and even worse sees Barnes come off injured. Shocking.
