Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City: Erling Haaland and John Stones score

Erling Haaland scored twice as Premier League champions Manchester City maintained their winning streak with a dominant victory over relegation-threatened Leicester City.

The hosts cut the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just three points, but Mikel Arteta's men can re-establish their advantage when they face West Ham on Sunday.

It was a thoroughly comfortable day for Pep Guardiola's men, who scored twice in the first 13 minutes through John Stones' thumping effort and Haaland's penalty.

The 22-year-old Norwegian goal machine added his second with a delightfully dinked finish 12 minutes later but could not net anymore after being substituted at half-time.
