Stubborn Pep Guardiola outfoxed again

Leicester City 4 Manchester City 2: Pep Guardiola is clearly not for turning. And that, based on the post-match revelations of Leicester City’s match-winners, will be music to the ears of Manchester City’s future opponents.

Having watched his team torn apart cruelly by the revitalised Premier League champions, Guardiola was unmoved in his commitment to his principles.

City will continue to pursue his philosophical aims, he insisted, regardless of the shortcomings exposed ruthlessly by Leicester in general and Jamie Vardy in particular on Saturday.
