Manchester City moved top of the Premier League thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's stunning strike to beat Leicester 1-0 on Saturday
, as Liverpool's five-year unbeaten home league run in front of fans was ended by a 2-1 defeat to Leeds.
City was without the free-scoring Erling Haaland for the trip to the King Power due to a foot injury and was blunted up front without the Norwegian’s firepower. “I want this Kevin and we need this Kevin. The goals and assists he can do blind. But we need this type of involvement in the game and today that was the case,” said City boss Pep Guardiola.
Jurgen Klopp’s men increasingly look like outsiders just for a return to the Champions League next season as they slip to ninth, still eight points adrift of the top four. Kai Havertz’s header early in the second half pulled a goal back, but Pascal Gross rounded off a memorable win for Brighton late on.
