Kompany thunderbolt clears title path for City

Vincent Kompany, 11 years a loyal Manchester City servant and a symbol of the stratospheric changes the club has undergone in that time, scored his first goal in 13 months at the most opportune moment and in the most spectacular fashion last night.

For 70 minutes, Leicester had frustrated a City side who had not dropped league points in 95 days and needed to continue with that form in order to beat Liverpool and become the first team in a decade to retain the Premier League.
