You rarely see such a one-sided Premier League match.
Manchester City played seriously for almost a quarter of an hour against Leicester City. After that, the score was already 2-0 to the hosts, and no one had any doubts about the game winner.
John Stones opened the goal taps already at five minutes. The ball bounced to him in the ensuing corner, and the striker fired the hosts into the lead with a fine volley.
Erling Haaland then chipped in after Leicester had been spotted by VAR By Wilfred Ndidi the absurd sleight of hand with which he stopped Jack Grealish concentration.
The Norwegian doubled his goal tally in the 25th minute when he made a great run Kevin De Bruyne for feed-through. Haaland easily lifted the ball over the oncoming Ketut veskari by Daniel Iversen.
The readings are dizzying. It was Haaland’s 47th complete hit of the season in a City shirt. At the same time, the Belgian playmaker recorded his 100th goal assist in the Sky Blues.
In the number of league goals, Haaland still has some work to do. Alan Shearer and Andy Cole made as many as 34 cabinets in one season in the 1990s. The Norwegian Vikings’ balance in the Premier League is currently 32.

City manager Pep Guardiola replaced Haaland at halftime, so he was no longer on the pitch to punish Leicester in the second period.
The home team also took their foot off the gas and just enjoyed an easy league win.
The slack backfired in the 75th minute, when Kelechi Iheanacho raised the visitors’ consolation goal into an empty net from about 30 cents.
Even after that, Leicester were blessed with a couple of great places, but no more goals were seen at the Etihad.
The 1–3 loss stuck Leicester even closer to the relegation zone. The match also gave the new manager of the Foxes a rather blunt first baptism To Dean Smith.
The 52-year-old is well remembered in Finland because he manages Teemu Pukin Norwich for over a year from November 2021. However, Smith was unable to keep the Canaries in the Premier League, and the same fate seems to follow the manager in Leicester as well.
