Manchester City 1-0 Leicester: Vincent Kompany stunner sends City top and breaks Liverpool hearts
Vincent Kompany scored a goal worthy of winning any title race as Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a tense 1-0 victory over Leicester.The City captain ended Leicester’s resistance with a swerving 30-yard thunderbolt into the top corner, putting City a point above Liverpool heading into the final day.3

Kompany scored a belter

With 20 minutes remaining, Liverpool were edging into the title driving seat as Brendan Rodgers’ side proved a tough nut to crack.Sergio Aguero saw a header denied on the line by Kasper Schmeichel and Raheem Sterling fluffed his lines on what proved a nervous night for the champions. But up stepped Kompany with a season-defining moment to give City their 13th consecutive league victory.And as Liverpool were looking for a favour from their former manager, City were given one by an ex-player when Kelechi Iheanacho missed a golden opportunity at the death.They will successfully defend their title with victory at Brighton next Sunday.A sign of City tension came as David Silva was booked for a cynical challenge on Tielemans which prevented a breakaway from inside his own half.But City then started to take control. Bernardo Silva weaved through the area to tee up Ilkay Gundogan but the German’s effort was blocked and Foden also fired into a crowded box.3

Kompany struck a thunderbolt from distance

Aguero hit the bar with a thumping header and Schmeichel did brilliantly to claw the ball off the line as it bounced down.Sterling was then denied in the area by a fine tackle from Wilfred Ndidi and further chances fell to Gundogan and Bernardo Silva as City finished the half on top.There was another moment of alarm, however, as Kompany was booked for bringing down James Maddison in full flow.City brought on Leroy Sane and poured all their efforts into attack after the break. Sterling and Bernardo Silva had half-chances before Gundogan dragged an effort wide.City appealed for another penalty as Sterling went down under a Hamza Choudhury challenge but nothing was given and the Foxes almost caught the hosts out as Maddison flashed an effort wide.3

Guardiola was a relieved man

The tension increased and the anxiety was evident as Aguero was denied at point-blank range by Schmeichel after Evans miskicked.But such moments are made for Kompany, City’s man for the big occasion.Few expected the skipper to shoot when the ball fell to him 30 yards out but it sat up nicely and he let fly with a ferocious strike. Schmeichel had no chance as the ball swerved away from him into the top corner.The celebrations from Kompany, Guardiola and almost everyone connected with the home side were exuberant and emotional but the game still had to be closed out.Hearts will have been in mouths when former City striker Kelechi Iheanacho got clear but he missed the target.It was tight but City held on – and they have the edge heading into the final round of fixtures.
