This is a modal window.

Manchester City went a long way to securing a Champions League spot in an action-packed game match against Leicester.

Manchester City are closing in on a Champions League place for next season, following a nervy 2-1 victory over Leicester. On the fifth anniversary of the club's first Premier League title win, Pep Guardiola's side needed to battle in a game they should have better controlled after going 2-0 up in the first half. City got some luck: An equalising penalty from Riyad Mahrez was ruled out when eagle-eyed referee Bobby Madley spotted the Algerian midfielder touch the ball twice.
