How Man City's win over Leicester affects Premier League title race

And so it goes to the final game.

A thrilling title race between two phenomenal teams in Liverpool and Manchester City is down to the wire.

The Reds heaped pressure on City after taking top spot following their win at Newcastle on Saturday, thanks to Divock Origi's late winner.

It looked as though Leicester could upset City's title charge, as they stifled them for almost 70 minutes of their match at the Etihad.

But that was until Vincent Kompany broke the deadlock with a breathtaking goal that proved to be the difference.

With one game left to play, it is still all to play for, but where will the trophy end up?

Here's how City's win affects this season's Premier League title race...
