Riyad Mahrez was happy with his assist for Gabriel Jesus' winner as Manchester City won 1-0 at Leicester City.

Back at his former King Power Stadium stomping ground, the Algerian proved City's assist king, slaloming through the Foxes defence before then supplying a slide rule pass for substitute Gabriel.

"At first, I wanted to shoot but then I saw the space, and at the last moment I see Gabi," Mahrez revealed.

“I knew he wasn't going to be offside because he was watching the line, so I gave him the ball and it was a good finish.

"It was a tough game. It's always difficult to come here, they played very deep, five at the back.

“We tried to break them down, but it was difficult. After the second half it was more on the counter, so we had more space and that made the difference."
