sport news Kompany's strike for was the sort of goal that deserves to win a title

We know what they will talk about for years to come. We know what will rack up the hits on Youtube.

Vincent Kompany's goal was as extraordinary and exhilarating as anything we have seen as Manchester City have bludgeoned their way in to English football's VIP area over the last decade. If it proves to be a goal to win a high quality Premier League title race then it feels about right.

Ultimately, though, it was arguably not the decisive moment of this captivating game of football. No, that came with only a matter of minutes left and started with the latest in a series of breaks from midfield from young Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury.

Speeding away from sky blue shirts, the 21–year-old looked up and played a perfect pass infield to Leicester substitute Kelechi Iheanacho. 

On the edge of the penalty area with pretty much only the goalkeeper to beat, Iheanacho should have scored. It was a huge moment in the former City trainee's career and a huge moment in this season. 

He blew it. The ball, struck first time with his left instep, curled wide of the post and it was game over, maybe title race over too - but the beauty of it was that it happened at all.

The joy in it was to be found in Choudhury's lung-burning dash. The young English man has had a terrible week, punished stupidly by the FA for something he posted on social media when he was quite literally still a child.

Yet here he was a magnificent presence for Leicester, covering acres of ground as his team ran City desperately close. Choudhury typified this game and typified his team's approach. He was competitive and he was honest. He cared and he really, really wanted to win.

This game didn't have to be like this. A win for Leicester would have moved them up a single place in the league table while a draw would not have taken them anywhere. So, it was a bit small beer really.
