Sports News of Thursday, 27 December 2018Source: GHANAsoccernet.comAmartey's Leicester City hand Manchester City shock 2-1 defeat in Premier LeagueManchester City only lost twice in all of 2017-18Daniel Amartey's Leicester City handed Manchester City their second successive defeat as Ricardo Pereira's spectacular late strike gave the Foxes a 2-1 shock win and dropped Pep Guardiola's side down to third. The injured Ghana international watched as Ricardo blasted in a winner from the edge of the penalty area in the 81st minute after Leroy Sane's weak header to leave Manchester City seven points behind leaders Liverpool and take them below Tottenham as well. Manchester City only lost twice in all of 2017-18 as they became the champions, but this loss was their second in five days after a shock 3-2 home defeat by Crystal Palace on Saturday. It has been a miserable festive period so far for Guardiola's side, who have now twice surprisingly been beaten after scoring the game's opening goal. Amartey is set to return to action next year after suffering the injury that rocked his impressive showing for Leicester City.
