This one felt defining - City were missing Haaland and facing a much more competent Leicester, but got it done because De Bruyne is a set-piece king
Leicester’s recent improvement has come through sacrificing possession. They had recorded their two lowest number of completed passes in each of their previous league games, won them both and scored six times without conceding. That was Brendan Rodgers’ idea here: three at the back, two defensive wing-backs and a propensity to put ten outfield players between City’s player in possession and their goal.
Their substitutions did change the game. If Rodgers had decided to create a 30-minute window at the game’s end in which to condense all of his side’s attacks and pray Leicester weren’t out of the game by that point, that contained some logic. On came Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho and with them Leicester found their lifeblood. Youri Tielemans twanged a volley that Ederson tipped over. Both substitute strikers floated into the blind spots of those in luminous yellow.
