City continue to battle, but Leicester sit deep and hold their line. They've defended well today - taking  no risks at the back and battling throughout with the City forwards.

Substitution: Vardy is replaced by Gray.

The hat-trick hero leaves the ground to a thoroughly deserved standing ovation. Man of the match for me without a doubt. His striking prowess is incomparable at times and when he's on his day - he brings his whole side up.

GOAL

Kolarov charges forward and delivers the ball into Nolito, who slots it past Zieler with ease. This goal will put a slight gloss on what is a poor result for Guardiola's men.

FULL TIME

Leicester City 4 - 2 Manchester City 

Hat-trick hero Vardy sealed the deal for the Champions, along with a superb strike from King. A catalogue of errors throughout from the visitors allowed Leicester to reactivate their fine form of last season and prove that they still have what it takes to battle the best. Guardiola's men failed to find their feet throughout and after conceding two goals in less than five minutes - it was an uphill battle from the off. 

That's all from me today - it's been a pleasure as always. Make sure to tune in tomorrow for live updates of the Super Sunday fixtures.
