Half-Time Report: David Silva gives Manchester City late lead against Leicester City

David Silva's goal on the stroke of half time puts Manchester City a goal up at the break against Leicester City in this evening's Premier League clash at the Etihad.

A David Silva goal on the stroke of half time has given Manchester City a 1-0 lead against Leicester City in this evening's Premier League clash at the Etihad.

The hosts began the game on the front foot, with a Wilfried Bony header being cleared off the line by Esteban Cambiasso.

In the seventh minute, Jesus Navas skimmed past two men and fired a low shot towards goal that was well saved by the feet of Mark Schwarzer.

Just moments later, Yaya Toure was next to try his luck, though his effort from 25 yards out proved straightforward enough for the Foxes keeper.

Man City continued to turn the screw as the game went on, though Jeff Schlupp appeared to be taken down in the box by a Bony challenge, but the referee rejected the appeal.

As it seemed like Leicester would take a clean sheet into the break, Aleksandar Kolarov's cross into the box fell to David Silva, who slotted home at the second attempt to give the Citizens the lead.
