The end for Van Nistelrooy and his students

Vardy and his teammates are about to be relegated.

In round 30, Wolverhampton won 3 points to continue to consolidate 17th place with 29 points. Meanwhile, Leicester is still in 19th place with only 17 points and has played one less match.

However, coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy and his team could not create a surprise against the home team Man City. The 7th consecutive defeat in the Premier League left the "Foxes" stuck in the second to last position on the rankings, 12 points behind Wolves, while the season only has 8 rounds left.

At home, despite the absence of key striker Erling Haaland, Man City did not take long to open the scoring. In the second minute, Jeremy Doku successfully contested the ball to open the attack for the home team. Savinho escaped to the back line and then passed the ball back for Jack Grealish to run up and finish into Leicester's net. This was also the first goal of the £100 million player in the Premier League this season, after 17 appearances.

In the 29th minute, Omar Marmoush took advantage of a lack of coordination between the defender and the away team's goalkeeper to score into an empty net, doubling the gap for "The Citizens". The Egyptian player showed his quick integration with his new team, having scored 5 goals in just 8 appearances in the Premier League this season.

During the rest of the match, Man City played leisurely and did not encounter any difficulties against the weak attack of the opponent. Leicester ended the match without creating a significant opportunity.

3 points at home helped Pep Guardiola's team temporarily rise to 4th place with 51 points, 1 and 2 points more than Newcastle and Chelsea respectively but having played one more match.
