Man City, Guardiola finish tough week with classy win vs. overwhelmed Leicester

MANCHESTER -- Pep Guardiola has never lost back-to-back top flight home fixtures as a manager and apart for eight minutes on Saturday, he never looked like doing so. Manchester City came from behind to beat Leicester City 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium to ensure that their defeat to Manchester United was followed up with a win instead of an unwanted first for the enigmatic manager.

Saturday's game was also the first test of a new era for City. For the first time since his move to Manchester in 2016, Guardiola did not have Mikel Arteta on the bench alongside him.
