Manchester City held as spirited Leicester make a point

Three managers could afford a smile despite a night of near misses in the Premier League’s latest unlikely heavyweight clash.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini, and Arsene Wenger of Arsenal all had reasons to be cheerful after an engaging stalemate at the King Power Stadium.

For Ranieri, it was proof that his side’s spirit remains unbroken despite their long unbeaten record being ended by Liverpool three days earlier, and the knowledge they had moved level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
