United put the champions to the sword as they deconstructed Leicester on the road. The Foxes remain a shadow of their previous form from last term, and the Red Devils skipped past their opponents with ease.

The visitors took the lead after Mkhitaryan scored after 42 minutes, bursting through an ambling defence to fire home past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Leicester were punished again just seconds later when Ibrahimovic slotted home a precision cross into the bottom corner with style.

The two goals were a shock for the Foxes after United had struggled with their game in the early part of the contest, but tactical switches by Mourinho turned the match on its head before half-time.

The game was over as a contest four minutes into the second half when Mata finished off a one-two with Mkhitaryan.

Leicester huffed and puffed their way through the rest of the encounter, and there is now a real chance of relegation after the club's greatest season. The romance of last season has been fully swept away.

Jesus was City's saviour as Swansea came within seconds of sharing the points at the Etihad. The 19-year-old started ahead of Sergio Aguero again and claimed a brace in front of his home supporters.

The youngster opened the scoring after 11 minutes as City played with swagger, but Swansea kept their heads above water to stay in the contest.

The visitors were rewarded with nine minutes remaining as Gylfi Sigurdsson fired home, prompting a grandstand finish from the Sky Blues.

Aguero joined Jesus in attack for the closing stanza, and the script was followed to the letter as the Brazil international tapped home the winner after goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski spilled the ball at his feet in the second minute of injury time.

Bleacher Report UK hailed the player's impact at City:

City started with confidence at the Etihad, but once again their deficiency in defence almost cost them the points.

However, the positives outweighed the negatives, as Jesus has proved himself to be one of the best young talents on the planet.

United's charge for the top four positions received a boost with their win at Leicester, and they are now only two points behind their objective.

After the visit of Watford on Saturday, the Red Devils have cup commitments, and they will need to rotate their first team as they attempt to maintain their league form.
