Premier League favourites, Manchester City, win their 16th successive game of the season with a victory over Leicester, Man Utd maintain the eight-point gap with a win over Newcastle, and Spurs drop to fourth after losing to arch-rivals Arsenal.

Manchester City continues to make the rest of the Premier League look like a bunch of toilet scrubbers after another convincing win away at Leicester City.

I had this down as a potential banana skin. Leicester beat City home and away last season, scoring seven goals in the process. I also felt Vincent Kompany’s ring rust would have been a problem for the Blues, and my premonition nearly bore fruit; Kompany bringing Vardy down when clear through on goal early enough in the game that the referee gave a ring rusty yellow card instead of a natural red.

Vardy was a threat throughout, but it was City who opened the scoring just before half-time when Gabriel Jesus scored his 15th league goal in 21 games, after a build-up that left Leicester players chasing the briefly stunning arc of a flashing meteorite.
