Manchester City 2-0 Leicester City: Jack Grealish Ends Goal Drought
Manchester City climbed into the Premier League’s top four with a routine 2-0 win over Leicester City, as Jack Grealish netted his first league goal in 16 months. He struck inside two minutes after a slick move involving Jeremy Doku and Savinho, while Omar Marmoush capitalized on a goalkeeping error to double the lead in the 29th minute. Leicester, now on a seven-game losing streak without scoring, remain 19th and in deep relegation trouble.
