'Incredibly lucky' - Pep Guardiola told what he got wrong in Man City win over Leicester

Jamie Redknapp believes Manchester City were 'incredibly lucky' not to have thrown away a three-goal lead in their 3-1 Premier League win over Leicester City on Saturday.

City took an early lead at the Etihad when John Stones fired in a brilliant volley, before two goals inside 12 minutes for Erling Haaland put the Blues in a commanding position. The Norwegian first scored from the spot after Wilfred Ndidi handled Jack Grealish's cross, before latching onto Kevin De Bruyne's inch-perfect through ball to dink over Daniel Iversen.

The goalscoring pair were both brought off at half-time, with Pep Guardiola evidently having one eye on Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich. The City boss also took off Rodri, De Bryne and Grealish early in the second half.
