Grealish Breaks 15-Month Goal Drought as Man City Dominate Leicester

It was a night of renewed promise at the Etihad Stadium, where Jack Grealish ended a 15-month wait for a Premier League goal by striking just two minutes into the game. His early breakthrough followed a slick pass from Savinho, who consistently threatened Leicester City’s defense with incisive runs. Despite missing Erling Haaland and having Pep Guardiola absent from the touchline, Manchester City controlled around 61% of possession and fired 12 shots on target. Some fans, however, missed Grealish’s moment of glory due to a brief boycott protesting ticketing measures.

The second goal arrived courtesy of Omar Marmoush, capitalizing on a glaring error from Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen just shy of the half-hour mark. Though City looked poised to run riot, they wisely eased off to preserve energy ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby. Given Leicester’s limited offensive threat, the strategy paid dividends, helping City solidify their push toward a coveted top-four finish.
