About this goal
N'Golo Kante holds off a challenge to steam forward before picking out Mahrez, who embarrasses Nicolas Otamendi and Martin Demichelis with some skill before rifling home.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30
The stepover to get beyond Demichelis is just gorgeous, while the finish is emphatic. A combination of brains and brawn.
Technical Difficulty 25/30
The flick over Otamendi is certainly difficult, but Mahrez is given a fairly free go at it by the City defence.
Uniqueness 15/20
The transition from defence to attack is excellent from Leicester, while it is ended by a moment of brilliance.
Importance 10/10
This made everyone take Leicester seriously as potential winners of the Premier League.
Standard of Opposition 9/10
Man City
FootballCritic Verdict
This goal ultimately gave Leicester an away win against their nearest championship rivals, and the confidence they needed to start believing in the unthinkable.
