Leicester beat Man City after beer incentive

Leicester City celebrate

Leicester City followed up an incredible 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a stunning 2-1 win over Manchester City on Boxing Day.

The Foxes and faithful were handed free beer and mince pies before the clash with reigning champions.

City were looking to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat by Crystal Palace and were in front after 14 minutes when Bernardo Silva finished with his left foot after being played through by Sergio Aguero.

But four minutes later Leicester were back on level terms after Marc Albrighton met Jamie Vardy’s cross with his head from close range.

Leicester’s defence held tight despite an onslaught from City, with Fabian Delph and Aguero both missing good chances.

Pep Guardiola’s team were may to pay for those spurned opportunities as Ricardo unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top left corner beyond Ederson with less than 10 minutes from the end.

Things went from bad to worse as Delph was shown a straight red for following through in a challenge on Ricardo, capping a miserable afternoon for City who slipped to third in the league.
