End of 2nd Half
FT
Pep Guardiola is fidgetting with the buttons of his cardigan. He's asking where this added time is coming from.
But City still have it in the corner as Blue Moon rings around the Etiahd. The whistle blows!!!!!
City have done it!!!! Manchester City regain the lead in the final weekend of this extraordinary season.
Liverpool are back down into second after a 13th straight win for City, won by a goal worthy of the occasion by their captain, their leader, Vincent Kompany.
90'
Manchester City so close to three more points as Gundogan seeks Sane and Chilwell is there to produce a last-ditch challenge on the cover...time is nearly up and City will look to keep this in the corner.
90'
SUB! It's another change for City as John Stones come on to replace David Silva.
We're into THREE ADDED MINUTES.

CHANCE!!!! Will Leicester get a better chance to level? Ederson's goal-kick is met by Maguire and Choudhury collects the second ball.
It's a fine pass to the unmarked Iheanacho, and with Zinchenko out of position, the Nigerian striker can't wrap his foot around his shot to test Ederson. What a chance!
86'
Manchester City
SUB! Sergio Aguero sees his number go up and sneaks further away from the near touchline.
Mike Dean is across it to signal he will be adding on the time as the striker is replaced by Gabriel Jesus.

OVER! Maguire is there to meet Gundogan's corner. The ball falls to the feet of Bernardo Silva, he has time to shape his shot, but he's not up the standards of his captain as Schmeichel watches it go over.
80'
Leicester City
SUB! Kelechi Iheanacho is coming on to replace James Maddison. Surely he couldn't? The City fans afford him a warm applause. What a story it would be if he could score as he goes up top with Vardy.

City have 15 minutes or so of defending to do. Such was the nature of Kompany's goal, he may only just be coming back down to earth.
Leicester have passed the ball back too many times since going behind. Suddenly, it's City who aren't in too much of a hurry.
76'
Leicester City
SUB! Harvey Barnes is on for Tielemans, but will Pep think about taking Sane off for Danilo, a more defensive move to block up this Leicester side?

Pep Guardiola is absoutely raging at Leroy Sane. Whatever he's doing, he's not doing what Pep is asking of him as Maddison's shot is comfortably gathered by Ederson. Tension fills the stands.
72'
This is not over by any stretch of the imagination as Komapny very nearly slips to let in Vardy but he recovers to retain possession.
That goal has moved City back into pole position. A fascinating 20 minutes till lie in store.
71'
Manchester City
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Never will you see a goal like this. Never will you see a goal as good as this to win a Premier League title.
Vincent Kompany has brought this ball forward from defence and with character and venom, he has found the top corner. Schmeichel isn't stopping that. WHAT. A. GOAL. It's an old school goal.
It's a 30-yard blockbuster that could decide the destination of this title.

WHAT A SAVE!!!!! What a magical dsave from Kasper Schmeichel as he claws away Aguero's shot.
The Argentine got some good fortune as the ball towards him by Gundogan deflected into his path off Evans but Maguire did well to put him under pressure.
67'
Leicester City
Sane and Zinchenko combine down the left but Leicester do well to see the danger out and win the goal-kick. That Maddison shot was set outside the post and it just didn't come back quickly enough.
The tempo of City's passing has got sloppy allowing Leicester to counter-attack again.
66'
Choudhury is having a fine game for Leicester. In fact, he's having the game of his life as he snuffs out another Sterling cross after a good ball by Walker.
63'
Leicester City
CLOSE!!! What a run from Harry Maguire down the left after bringing it out of his own box. He finds Maddison, who has Albrighton to his right in acres of space but he goes for goal with his right foot very nearly finding Ederson's bottom corner!
