Leicester, United Kingdom: Pep Guardiola said relief was his overriding emotion after a 2-0 victory at Leicester secured just a second win in 14 games for the crisis-hit English champions on Sunday.
Savinho and Erling Haaland struck either side of half-time as City ended a run of eight away games without a win.
The performance was still far from the standards that Guardiola's side have set in winning an unprecedented four consecutive English top-flight titles.
But the effusive celebrations of Haaland's header 16 minutes from time showed that three points was all that mattered for the visitors to at least temporarily halt their remarkable slump.
"It is not enjoyable right now, it is just relief. We have done incredible things for many years," said Guardiola.
