Erling Haaland bagged a brace as Manchester City moved three points behind Arsenal after defeating Leicester City 3-1 on Saturday. SLInt MORE:
Pep Guardiola made three changes from the win over Bayern Munich, with Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte and Riyad Mahrez recalled at the expense of Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and Illkay Gundogan.
It looked to be a long evening for Leicester when the hosts were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute for a foul on Jack Grealish, which allowed Erling Haaland to slot home. That goal took Haaland's tally in the Premier League to 32 goals, which sees him equal Mohamed Salah's record for most goals in a league season while he is two goals from matching the all-time record set by Andy Cole.
The Foxes did manage to pull a goal back with 15 minutes left on the clock as substitute Kelechi Iheanacho scored his former side with a close-range finish after a mix-up between Kalvin Phillips and Ederson in the box.
