Man City sweep aside Leicester to close on Arsenal as record equalled - 5 talking points

Manchester City put the pressure back on Arsenal after a routine win over Leicester that cut the gap at the top to three points.

The defending champions had all but wrapped up the three points within the opening 25 minutes as goals from John Stones and an Erling Haaland brace put them in control. Pep Guardiola's side have hit top form in recent weeks and were brimming with confidence after their statement win against Bayern Munich in midweek.

Dean Smith was appointed as Leicester boss until the end of the season, but endured a baptism of fire that proved way too hot to handle. The Foxes remain firmly in the bottom three after losing for the eighth time in their last nine games.
