Manchester City enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City on Saturday to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Gabriel Jesus' 10th goal of the campaign in all competitions put the league leaders in front on the stroke of half-time following a wonderful team move.

Kevin De Bruyne then added a second with a rising left-footed effort from 20 yards in the 49th minute after a swift counter-attack.

Pep Guardiola's side are now unbeaten in 24 matches in all competitions after picking up their 16th consecutive victory - a record for an English side.

Guardiola declared: “The first was good because we did it after a lot of passes, and after we attacked the space and the decisions were good.

“After that Kevin, it's his talent... last season we didn't score that type of goal, he hit the post many times. This year it's going in.

“It's always complicated after internationals but I'm not surprised by my players. Here in Leicester it's always complicated with throw-ins, corners, their movement in behind and Mahrez. We controlled the game again, we didn't suffer and it's three more points."
