Manchester City ended their slump with a convincing 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
The win marked a much-needed turnaround for Pep Guardiola’s side, who had managed just one win in their previous 13 matches.
The victory was a welcome relief for Guardiola, who had been under pressure following his team’s recent struggles.
“I’m delighted with the performance and the result,” Guardiola said. “We needed a win like this to boost our confidence and get our season back on track.”
Savinho and Erling Haaland scored the goals, with Savinho netting his first for the club in the 21st minute. Haaland sealed the win with a headed goal in the 74th minute.
The win moves Manchester City up to fifth place in the Premier League table, while Liverpool remain top with 45 points.
Guardiola’s side will look to build on this momentum when they face West Ham on January 4.
The victory was also a milestone for Guardiola, marking his 500th game in charge of Manchester City. Despite a stuttering performance, the visitors ultimately secured a crucial win to get their season back on track.
