Pep Guardiola had gone nine Premier League games with just one win, but Erling Haaland and Savinho have put a smile on his face as they win a game against Leicester City.
Having won today’s game has made them go to 31 points, leaving them in the fifth position as well as creating a gap of 11 points behind Liverpool.
Guardiola had promised not to give up amid the worst run of his managerial career, but the visitors lived dangerously at the King Power Stadium, with Jamie Vardy twice going close and Facundo Buonanotte hitting the post for the Foxes.

Confidence clearly needs to be rebuilt at City, but it was good enough to beat a Leicester side that is fading after a promising start under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
It is now four straight defeats for the Foxes and five in seven games since Steve Cooper was sacked in November, which leaves them in the relegation zone.
Vardy had the hosts’ best first-half chance, thwarted by Stefan Ortega after Josko Gvardiol’s mistake, before Buonanotte’s header rebounded off the post, but by then they were already trailing to Savinho’s 21st-minute goal—his first City goal.
Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, who denied Haaland early, parried Phil Foden’s shot, and winger Savinho fired in high from six yards.
In conclusion, Leicester still sensed they could exploit City’s brittle backline, and James Justin came close to a second-half leveller, only for Manuel Akanji to hack clear.
