Pep Guardiola explains why Man City will 'sleep well' after Leicester win

Pep Guardiola hailed the significance of Manchester City's Premier League win over Leicester as it temporarily moved the Blues top of the Premier League.

In a tight game of few openings, City took three points from the King Power Stadium thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's brilliant free-kick at the start of the second half. Leicester had some late chances to equalise, but City held on to move above Arsenal in the table ahead of the Gunners' game with Nottingham Forest on Sunday, where they can return to first place with a win.

It's the first time since the second weekend of the season that City have been in first after a game, and that was a significant moment for Guardiola, who said he will 'sleep well' being top of the league.
