Manchester City's Belgian defender Vincent Kompany watches as his shot beats Leicester City's Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to score the opening goal during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on May 6, 2019.
It had been a nervy and frustrating night for the home crowd until Kompany’s 25m drive sent the Etihad Stadium wild in a mixture of relief and joy after their longest wait this Premier League season for an opening goal at home. Leicester had been good value in the first half as they tested City’s defensive solidity and frustrated their forward movement.
But still chances were at a premium and when Sergio Aguero managed a close range poke goalwards in the 69th minute, Schmeichel was up to the task. Unless Brighton can produce the upset that has so far failed to materialise in the run-in of this epic duel, Liverpool, beaten just once this league campaign, will have to settle for the runners-up spot.
