Manchester City returned to the top of the English Premier League with one round left after captain Vincent Kompany hit a sensational goal to beat Leicester 1-0 in a dramatic and tense match on Monday.
The ferocious long-range shot by City’s long-serving and influential captain settled nerves 70 minutes into the nail-biting contest at Etihad Stadium.
Few will have expected Kompany to shoot when the ball fell to him 30 yards out but he let fly with a powerful strike.
“I said no shoot Vinnie, no shoot!” Guardiola said in the post-match presser on Monday.
Pep Guardiola’s treble-chasing side needed to win to retain control of their title destiny, and their 13th successive victory took them a point above Liverpool.
