De Bruyne’s strike in the 49th minute curled around the wall and hit the inside of the left post before crossing the line, leaving no chance for Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward.
Leicester applied pressure in the late stages of the match but could not find an equalizer despite an excellent long-range effort from Youri Tielemans which forced Ederson to make an outstanding save.

With the win, City maintained their unbeaten streak when they scored first in the Premier League this season and moved back into the top spot with Arsenal to play on Sunday.
“We made it difficult for ourselves, we were a bit tired. They were very negative for 70 minutes but then their changes made it a different game. We didn’t keep the ball in their half, but we still could have scored a second.
“The free-kick goes perfectly, luckily it’s 1-0. Ederson has been great, sometimes we only talk about his distribution but he’s a great keeper and he proves it every week.
“We have proved we can win with or without Erling Haaland.” De Bruyne to BT Sport
