Robert Huth's double
and a Riyad Mahrez
goal sent Premier
League leaders
Leicester City six
points clear after a stunning 3-1 victory at
shell-shocked title
rivals Manchester
City on Saturday. Leicester produced another
exhilarating counter-attacking
performance, playing with confidence
and swagger in the top-of-the-table
clash at the Etihad stadium. Poor marking allowed defender Huth to
sweep in Mahrez's free kick, via a
deflection off Martin Demichelis, after
three minutes. Playmaker Mahrez finished off a swift
break to score his 14th league goal of
a hugely impressive season and
double Leicester's lead three minutes
into the second half. Huth headed in a corner on the hour to
make it 3-0, proving that Leicester, on
53 points from 25 games, have the
quality and belief to make a sustained
challenge for a first English top-flight
crown. Sergio Aguero headed a late
consolation for the hosts.
