This amazing season just gets better and better!

Manchester City 1 Leicester City 3

Report by Kate Thompson

It is such a pleasure to write match reports this season.  Week after week, I – along with many other football supporters – think the dream will come to an end, yet still our team keep confounding us all.  This was one match I thought we would lose and would have taken a point before it started, but yet again I was left feeling guilty at doubting the players' ability to deliver.

The team was unchanged again, with no place on the subs bench for new boy Amartey; Manchester City, even with their long injury list, still fielded a team of fantastic players, of whom the most dangerous – on paper at least – were Aguero and Silva. 

Just as City had learnt from the Liverpool match on Boxing Day, they showed that they had done their homework and gave Manchester City no time to demonstrate their undoubted skills. 

On another day of torrential rain, the surface must have been difficult to play on but Leicester took the lead in the third minute; from a free kick on the edge of the box, Robert Huth of all unlikely players, poked the ball past England goalkeeper Joe Hart, although a defender might have got the last touch.  Most of the first half was spent repelling wave after wave of attacks but the defence held firm and took an unlikely, but slender, 1-0 lead into the break.

in the third minute of the second half we had doubled our score, with a wonderful piece of magic from Riyad Mahrez.  The tireless Kante put the ball out wide to Albrighton who slipped it to Mahrez; he still had a lot to do but dummied one defender and stroked a sublime ball past Hart.  Now why can't he take penalties like that! 

In the 60th minute Huth scored a second goal with a header which left Hart grasping at thin air.  Cue pandemonium among the City fans, singing in the rain.  As the clock moved on to the last few minutes, Manchester City got a goal back so sadly no clean sheet, but that was being greedy!  Aguero – who else – headed the ball past Schmeichel. 

There then followed a potential banana skin when Danny Simpson played a sloppy back pass and the ever-alert Aguero almost scored a second, but Schmeichel was alert to the danger and put it out for a corner.

So 3-1 to the boys in black and six points clear of Manchester City, a lead cut back to five when Spurs won 1-0 against Watford in one of the 3.00 kick-offs.  On the drive home the commentators on Radio 5 Live kept repeating the score, as if they didn't really believe it.  So bring on the Arsenal!

Nobody had a bad, or even indifferent game.  They were all magnificent – and I can't remember the last time I thought this.  The only worrying thing is that the bookmakers are now making us favourites for the title.  All we need to do is keep winning! 

If they can continue to enjoy the games and play without fear or pressure, the dream could last to the end of the season.  For the record, Gray replaced Mahrez in the 77th minute, Ulloa for Okazaki in the 81st and Dyer for Albrighton in the 86th.  And Vardy didn't score, thanks to at least two excellent stops from Hart, on the day that he committed himself to Leicester City until 2019 – so will presumably end his career with us.  But at the moment, why would he want to be anywhere else?
