Leicester City absolutely blew visitors Manchester City away at the King’s power stadium with a 4-2 win on Saturday night.
Manchester City’s defence were completely disjointed and the Foxes’ counter-attacking football took full advantage of this.
After a barren three-month goal drought, Jamie Vardy got himself back on the score sheet in style with a hat trick, and Andy King also netted a brilliant curling shot.
In the 3rd minute, Riyad Mahrez dropped the ball beautifully to Islam Slimani, who slipped a nice pass between John Stones and Aleksandar Kolarov for Vardy. the forward scooted in front of Kolarov and drove a precise first-time shot into the bottom left hand corner to put Leicester ahead.

A long throw from the left broke to Slimani in the box; and with the Man City defence failing to clear, he teed up Adam King, who whipped an insouciant, rising shot through Bravo’s right hand and into the net to double Leicester’s lead in just the 5th minute.
In the 21st minute, Fuchs drilled an angled 60-yard pass to Mahrez on the right. His first touch was just wonderful, a velvet pass to Vardy, who smoothly rounded off Bravo to score the third for the Foxes.
Vardy completed a hat-trick after a dreadful mistake from John Stones in the 78th minute, but Aleksandar Kolarov curled a superb free-kick past Zieler at the near post to finally get Manchester City on the score sheet in the 82nd minute.

There was still time for Nolito to finish smartly from Kolarov’s sharp low cross in the 90th minute, to end the game 4-2.
