Riyad Mahrez had a bizarre penalty ruled out as Manchester City survived a stirring Leicester City fightback to claim a 2-1 victory and climb above Liverpool into third place in the Premier League on Saturday. But his 77th-minute penalty, despite beating Willy Caballero, was correctly ruled out after City's players realised Mahrez had slipped while striking the ball and inadvertently made an illegal double contact. "The first goal was offside," Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel, who argued he was distracted by Sterling, told Sky Sports. There was no doubt about City's second in the 36th minute. City, who surprisingly left top scorer Sergio Aguero on the bench, were not clinical enough in front of goal and Leicester became increasingly dangerous in the second half.
