2018-19 Premier League - Manchester City beat Leicester 1-0 Monday May 06,2019

Manchester City beat Leicester 1-0

Manchester City know they will retain their Premier League title if they win on the final day of the season after Vincent Kompany's wonder strike saw off a spirited Leicester side.

With 20 minutes remaining, the score goalless and nerves jangling at Etihad Stadium, the defending champions needed inspiration in a game where only victory would maintain their advantage at the top of the table.

They got it from an unlikely source in their long-serving captain, who strode forward and let fly from 25 yards with a strike that arrowed into the top corner of the net

City's victory means they move back above Liverpool and hold a one-point lead as they go into the last round of fixtures on Sunday May 12,2019, when Pep Guardiola's side travel to Brighton and the Reds host Wolves.

• Man City have now scored 100 goals in all competitions at the Etihad this season; extending their record for most home goals by an English top-flight team in a single campaign.
• Man City have won each of their last 13 Premier League games - it's the fourth run of a team winning 13+ games in a row in the competition's history, with City the only side to have done so twice.
• Man City have beaten every team they've faced in the league for the second consecutive season; the only other English top-flight team to achieve this were Preston between 1888-89 and 1889-90.
• Leicester have won just one of their last seven away games versus Man City in all competitions (W1 D1 L5).
