Football: Man City cruise past Leicester to close in on Premier League title

Benjamin Mendy scored just his second Manchester City goal against Leicester AFP/Michael ReganLEICESTER: Manchester City moved ever closer to a third Premier League title in four seasons as a rare goal from Benjamin Mendy and Gabriel Jesus's strike earned a 2-0 win at third-placed Leicester on Saturday .

That would mean winning the Champions League for the first time and Guardiola showed that competition remains the priority with his team selection ahead of Borussia Dortmund's trip to the Etihad for the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Tuesday. However, his presence denied City an early opener when Fernandinho's long-range strike arrowed into the bottom corner only for the goal to be disallowed as Aguero was standing in an offside position in front of Kasper Schmeichel.

Riyad Mahrez stung the palms of his former teammate Schmeichel, but from the rebound, the ball fell at the feet of Mendy at the back post, who cut onto his weaker right foot and scored just his second goal in four seasons as a City player.
