Twitter explodes as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are torn apart by Leicester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola received a late welcome gift from reigning Premier League champions Leicester City as the Citizens were stunned at the King Power stadium by a rampant Foxes side. A Jamie Vardy hat-trick coupled with a goal from Andy King helped Claudio Ranieri’s side register a 4-2 win over the title hopefuls.

Leicester City, in their characteristic fashion, sat back and absorbed pressure while hitting Guardiola’s side on the counter. Vardy opened the scoring in the 3^rd minute before King doubled the lead less than 2 minutes later. Vardy added his second of the night in the 20^th minute before completing the hat-trick in the 78^th minute.

Aleksandar Kolarov and Nolito scored consolation goals for Guardiola’s side in the 82^nd and 90^th minutes respectively. Twitter didn’t hold back and was ruthless on the former Barcelona manager.

Here are the best tweets from the game:

A poor back three playing a high line against a counter-attacking team with pace playing two strikers up front. What could go wrong? #LEIMCI

Pep Guardiola should recall Joe Hart from Torino and just stick him at centre-half.

If Man City really want a revolution under Pep, they need to completely overhaul their defence. 3 of their starting back 4 need to go IMO.

Conte is doing wonders with Moses n Klopp is challenging with Milner as his LB but Pep the best manager in the world needs a new defense

Leicester are currently beating Manchester City 3-0. 20 minutes on the clock. Laughable how many people got overexcited by Pep Guardiola.

The worry with Man City is what kind of mess Pep Guardiola leaves for Sam Allardyce to clean up when he takes over next season.
