James Maddison discloses frank chat with Pep Guardiola after Man City defeat

James Maddison has revealed that Pep Guardiola asked him why Leicester City didn't play like they did in the final 15 minutes for the entire game, following the Foxes' 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Kevin De Bruyne's second-half strike proved to be the difference at the King Power Stadium as City moved to the top of the Premier League for the first time since August. The Citizens, who were without Erling Haaland through injury, did enough to earn a narrow win but Leicester made it difficult for them throughout.
