Kevin De Bruyne didn't think Manchester City struggled without Erling Haaland in their 1-0 win against Leicester.
City moved to the top of the Premier League by beating Leicester in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off at the King Power Stadium, with De Bruyne's stunning free-kick enough to earn City the three points. The visitors were dominant in the first half before Leicester put them under pressure in the final 20 minutes, but over the course of 90 minutes Pep Guardiola's side created few clear chances.
The obvious conclusion to draw is that City missed the presence of Haaland up top. The 22-year-old - who has scored 17 goals in 11 Premier League outings this season - was not named in the matchday squad due to what Guardiola described as an issue with a ligament in his foot.
