Pep Guardiola defended the performance of Julian Alvarez after Manchester City's 1-0 win against Leicester.
City moved to the top of the Premier League with a crucial win at the King Power Stadium, arresting a slump of three consecutive away matches without a win. Kevin De Bruyne scored the game's only goal with a spectacular second-half free-kick, but in truth the Blues did not create many clear-cut chances.
Guardiola's side dominated the first half in terms of possession, but with no Erling Haaland in the squad due to injury they found it difficult to find ways through an organised Leicester defence.
