Pep Guardiola blown away as wonder goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus in Leicester win keep Man City soaring
City played Foxoes off park and went from end-to-end in just 21 seconds as KDB's stunning strike clinched it
PEP GUARDIOLA was wowed as Manchester City scored two sensational wonder goals to stun Leicester.
The demanding Blues chief watched his players pass the Foxes off the park before David Silva unselfishly set up Gabriel Jesus for the opener.
Kevin De Bruyne then scored a rocket from the edge of the area as City maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Flabbergasted Guardiola said: “The first goal… wow! It was so good because it came after a million passes.
“The players know where their team-mates are, they know where they are going to be, they have the quality and they have the intelligence.
“Then David showed how unselfish he is with the pass to Gabriel.”
Belgium international De Bruyne then scored a magnificent second for City after 49 minutes — just seconds after Harry Maguire’s chance hit Ederson’s post.
Guardiola added: “The quality from Kevin was special. We scored two amazing goals.

“In terms of the result, it is three more points, we have the distance — Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are all quite a way behind us.
“The win was complicated because we are playing away — we are away for two weeks after the international break — but the mind was good. To come back from international duty is not easy as you do not have time.”

Leicester manager Claude Puel said: “We know this team. They are the best team in Europe.
“We started very well with good moves and good organisation. It was a good 30-or-so minutes.”
The Frenchman also agreed with SunSport’s Whistleblower Mark Halsey, who said Vincent Kompany should definitely have been sent off for his early foul on Jamie Vardy.
Puel added: “City deserved a red card. It is not possible to come back after the decision, it is important to look forward and keep good focus.
“The second goal at the start of the second half was hard to accept.”
