LEICESTER - Gabriel Jesus struck to give Manchester City a 1-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday , strengthening their hold on second place behind champions-in-waiting Liverpool.

City, who still trail Liverpool by 19 points, bossed possession in a lively opening spell at the King Power Stadium but Leicester should have taken an early lead when Jamie Vardy was put through. Ilkay Gundogan had a chance after being played in by Aguero but he scuffed his shot from close range. PENALTY SAVED The decisive moment appeared to come just after the hour mark when Manchester City were awarded a penalty after a VAR check confirmed that Leicester's Dennis Praet had handled the ball in the area.
