#4 Best team performance: Leicester City
Trending
The champions came back from the wilderness with a resounding all-round performance worthy of title-holders against an insipid Manchester City. After a midweek drubbing at the hands of Porto in the Champions League, this was a perfect comeback by the Foxes.
Last season’s heroes Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez combined excellently with Islam Slimani while the midfield was rock solid and kept ticking by the likes of Andy King, who also chipped in with a lovely goal.
Leicester romped to a 3-goal lead within the first 20 minutes as the Citizens were left in their wake more than once.
Besides a sore defence that required serious impetus, Guardiola’s side acutely missed the services of Kun Aguero and Fernandinho as both players were serving suspensions.
On the other hand, Robert Huth, the ever-dependable Fuchs and stand-in keeper Ron-Robert Zieler all played their part to perfection when called upon to ensure victory for Ranieri’s men.
Honourable mentions: Swansea, Arsenal, Manchester United
