What were the key moments in Manchester City's match against Leicester?
Let's get the thoughts of Alan and Niall as well. Will Man City count themselves a little bit fortunate to have got all three points in that one? Well, certainly second half. Leicester have stepped on to Man City, caused them all sorts of problems, created two or three great moments, which we'll see, and obviously a penalty that... Really should have been scored, but a really sort of controversial decision, but a right decision. Taking nothing away from Leicester, Niall, why, particularly in that second half, did City struggle somewhat?
Well, the crowd went quiet because the first ten minutes didn't go well. Leicester came out and really took impetus from scoring the goal and started to press, make life awkward, and you saw mistakes being made from the like of Silva, De Bruyne... All these players that generally are tidy and nervousness started to fill the air. And Leicester pushed and pushed and pushed and tried to get something out of that. Looked as if they had a most curious, unusual situation where the two taps probably prevents them from getting a point.
Well, let's get some Man City reaction now. Raheem Sterling and the birthday boy, Yaya Torre, both speaking with Patrick Davidson.
Guys, well played. Yaya, a birthday win for you, but how hard did Leicester make it?
Yeah, difficult. The first time was quite good. We were controlling the game. After the first goal, if we did well after, again, we get a penalty. When they scored, it was quite difficult. We created a lot of chance, but we were not able to convert it. and they were delighted with the win today.
Raheem, you were right in the midst of that first goal. Just give us your view of what happened.
David's shot. As an attacker, you're always trying to be in and about. I realised if I touched it, I was probably offside, so I tried to intentionally swing a foot at it, then I realised if I did touch it, it would have been offside, so I left it. So you went for it and then deliberately left it?
Yeah.
It looked like you had a little look at the assistant.
Why did Manchester City struggle in the second half against Leicester?
Were you worried it might get ruled out? No, I wasn't worried because I know I didn't touch it, but I wasn't too close to it. So there's definitely David to go on. Definitely deserved a stand.
Let's ask you about the Leicester penalty, Yaya. It seemed like a lot of Man City players spotted immediately that Mahrez had touched it twice. Were you one of them?
Yeah, of course, because I was right behind him and I think you can see that. I think he slept a little bit as well, you know, sometimes in football you are lucky sometimes, but I think he's fully delighted for us, you know, because I think it was 2-2 would be harsh, you know, and I think playing in front of our fans, you know, trying to do our best and win the game is very, very important.
Raheem, how big a win was it? Yeah, it's a massive win. especially we've got the luck today that we needed throughout the season as well. There's been times throughout the season where I thought we deserved a bit more and it wasn't the luck sometimes, but today we got that luck and we got the three points and that's the most important thing today.
Yaya, you won't thank me for reminding you, but 34 today, contract expiring in the summer. It feels like a fair time to ask you. Are you thinking... it's getting towards the end in that shirt, or are you hoping there'll be at least one more year of it?
I think my future is Tuesday again, we have another game, and let's see what will happen. That's the thing in the sport, you don't know what's going to happen in the future. I think I'm fully delighted to always appreciate it in playing, because I think I think the age is just a number, but I think I feel really younger than Raheem now. He's always told me he's younger, but I think it's good to play with those lights. I always enjoy it and I'm always going to continue to enjoy football again.
But you were saying before the interview you don't enjoy your birthdays.
I know, I hate it. I don't like it, but I think it's part of the game sometimes.
