Leicester vs Man City Premier League result and final score after De Bruyne goal with Haaland out - live

Maddison: “When you play City you have to take your medicine and accept they’ll have large spells of the ball.

“Arguably the best team in the world. We went with the 5-4-1 shape. The difference was a moment of magic from probably the best player in the Premier League.

“I don’t think he’s hit one that sweet, it’s a brilliant save from Ederson.

“We were pushing, but we ran out of time. We stayed in the game, which was the important thing.

“Get to the end period and know we could’ve taken one chance, but it wasn’t to be.

“He [Guardiola] asked why we didn’t play like we did in the last 15 minutes for the whole game, but he knows it’s not as easy as that.”

“When they defend in these positions, it's difficult for the strikers,” Guardiola adds.

“When they open, we have more chances in transitions. Leicester away is always a challenge.

“Now we wait to see what the others do, we have two games left [until the World Cup].”

“A real difficult game,” Guardiola says. “They play so deep, it’s not easy, after we scored, we started the second half well.

“We play low rhythm the whole game because they play this way.

“Massive victory for us. He [De Bruyne] is back. He wasn’t playing good last few games.

“He knows it. It’s difficult, back five with holding midfielder, there’s no space. Don’t get frustrated, don’t concede the counter-attack or free-kicks, Maddison is a master in these situations.

“We played low rhythm, that’s why we suffer.”

“We always have to do better,” De Bruyne, who was given the man of the match award, says after Guardiola demanding more from him.

Some games are more difficult than others. I’m trying to contribute, that’s all I can do.”

“We created enough, it’s very difficult, we proved we can do it with or without him,” says De Bruyne.

“We made it difficult for ourselves, we were tired with all the games, they were very negative for 70 minutes.

“We tried to keep it in their half. We still could’ve scored the second. They have a couple of moments, more from our doing.

“It goes perfectly, luckily it’s 1-0.”
