eight games to assure the title.

for Manchester City at home to struggling Leicester City, taking advantage of
an assist from Savinho, reports Xinhua.

more then in the away game, and in the end we scored a good goal and kept a
clean sheet. I liked much more what I saw here then the away game. I could feel
that we were getting closer, but there's a reason they hardly ever concede a
goal or a chance," said Slot.
