Man City's familiar flaw exposed again as Pep Guardiola lucky to secure Leicester win Pep Guardiola has been devoid of answers during Manchester City's remarkable slump over the past two months – and they were still illusive, even as a vital win was secured at Leicester in his 500th match in charge of the team.
He blasted a brilliant chance straight at Stolarczyk's from De Bruyne's cut-back before dragging another effort wide of the near post after skinning Jannik Vestegaard.
Had their stand-in goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk dealt with Phil Foden's pot-shot better and had their forwards been more clinical then the match could have gone very differently.
The Norwegian did make the game safe with a free header, but his past self could have bagged a hat-trick.
City arrived at the King Power Stadium having won just one of their previous 13 matches in all competitions.
