This is always a tricky fixture for us and Leicester made it difficult for us in the first half. But once we scored the first goal we took full control.
Some of the play in the second half was phenomenal and we should have won by more than 2.
Kompany looked a bit shaky a times but it was his first game back and it's great to have him as an option again. Delph and Walker were both excellent at full back and Mangala did very well after he came on.
Sane and Sterling were both constant threats down each wing and KDB's goal was simply brilliant. A great counter-attacking move with a great finish. If only Silva could score for us as often as he did for Spain!
Excellent 3 points. The great form continues!

Fortunately Vinny is back, otherwise I'd be legit concerned.
Whether Vinny can stay fit for that long is the million quid question.

Although to be fair Vinnie should have slotted out again double quick and pep says he would be a risk tonight! I fancy it will be Ota and the Mangler tonight.

Mr K was in Garth Crooks team of the week!!!
Vincent Kompany:
Kompany completed 95% of his passes against Leicester and made a team-high five clearances.
What is the game coming to when a manager, or a team for that matter, begin to rely on a sending-off to ensure a victory?
That seemed to be the situation, as far as Leicester and their manager Claude Puel were concerned, when Vincent Kompany clearly brought down Jamie Vardy during the game's opening exchanges. The tackle itself was not the issue, but whether the City captain was the last man or not.
Some are in no doubt that Kompany should have been dismissed, but I take a different view. John Stones, the nearest City defender to Vardy, was close enough and quick enough to make a difference and referee Graham Scott thought so too. Would the game have been affected by Kompany's departure? Of course it would, but the whole point of a sending-off is that it is used to administer justice.
It is also the opinion of the referee that counts - not the managers' or players' - and certainly not the opinion of the pundits. There are moments, I must admit, when a referee is the only person in the ground who knows why a player has been sent off and that is equally nauseating.
We should all be in no doubt why justice has been served. Nevertheless, Kompany survived the incident and the match.
Kompany is a wonderful professional. However, the Belgium international will know he must prove he can play a full and uninterrupted season in the hurly burly of the Premier League before manager Pep Guardiola can trust him to lead this marvellous City side into the future.
