MANCHESTER City ended their five-game winless run as Pep Guardiola celebrated victory in his 500th game in charge with a 2-0 success at Leicester.
Savinho's first-half goal and an Erling Haaland header after the break earned a muchneeded three points for the faltering champions at the King Power Stadium.
It was just their second Premier League victory since the end of October, but the frailties of the last two months - where they lost nine of their previous 13 matches - were still on show.
Leicester provided a stern test and might feel they could have got something out of the match as Facundo Buonanotte hit the post and Jamie Vardy missed a key chance at 1-0 down.
While their title challenge is probably over, City moved back in touch with the top four and will hope this can be a stepping stone to a full revival.
