It is a sign of City’s superiority in the Premier League that they could beat the third-placed team without a host of regulars, rested to prepare for Haaland and Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. City’s third-choice left-back struck along with Gabriel Jesus, the perennial deputy: understudy to first Aguero, now a group of false nines and perhaps, in the future, Haaland. Leicester can still savour the memories of September’s 5-2 evisceration at the Etihad, the first time a Pep Guardiola team had ever conceded five, but this time City did not concede three penalties. The scoreline represented a sanction in itself, much as Leicester punished City’s errors at the Etihad, scoring five goals with only 28 percent of possession.
