Manchester City eased to a 3-1 win over Leicester in the Premier League with another two goals for Erling Haaland and one for John Stones
Back in January, after Manchester City had been booed off by some supporters at half-time as they fell 2-0 behind against Tottenham, the manager coated off his players to their faces and then did it in the media. Asked why he was going public as he savaged the "happy flowers team", he said he wanted a reaction.
Even before Darren England had had a chance to change his mind, Haaland took hold of the ball and Bernardo Silva went to the penalty spot to stop Leicester's Victor Kristiansen from scuffing it up. City's No.9 then stroked home his 46th goal of the season and Leicester's game plan was in ruins after just 13 minutes.
Asked what positives they could take into the game on the back of their Bundesliga performance, defender Matthijs de Ligt responded bluntly that it couldn't get any worse. With Sadio Mane made unavailable for selection after punching Leroy Sane in the changing rooms at the Etihad, it doesn't make for a happy camp in Bavaria.
Haaland did not get an opportunity to score again though, withdrawn along with fellow goalscorer Stones at half-time in a further sign that this game was long over as a contest; Julian Alvarez and Manu Akanji came on, with Kalvin Phillips replacing Rodri not long after. Nathan Ake and Ilkay Gundogan enjoyed a full 90 minutes watching from the bench, while De Bruyne and Grealish were also taken off.
