Pep Guardiola praised "brave" referee Bobby Madley for disallowing Riyad Mahrez's penalty in Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Leicester.

City dominated the first 40 minutes and led through David Silva's 29th-minute opener and a penalty from Gabriel Jesus seven minutes later.

But a superb volley from Shinji Okazaki gave Leicester some momentum heading into the second half and they exploited City's nerves to almost snatch a point.

When Gael Clichy felled Mahrez in the box and the playmaker converted from the spot, it looked like the Foxes had drawn level.
