However, as seen in the video below, Kompany produced a moment of absolute magic and quality as he smashed a long-distance strike into the back of the net to finally find a way past Kasper Schmeichel. Man City will still have to hold onto their lead as it promises to be nervous ending to the game if they can’t find a second, but their nerves will surely have been settled after this effort from Kompany saw the Etihad erupt. Vincent Kompany! That is a title winning goal from a legend of the game ?? pic.twitter.com/xL1YPMuqfs — Lëwis (@ArseLewi) May 6, 2019<doc-sep>(CNN) Manchester City returned to the top of the English Premier League after a scintillating strike from Vincent Kompany secured a vital 1-0 win against Leicester City. With the hosts struggling to find a way past a stubborn defense, the club captain stepped up to send the Etihad Stadium into a frenzy with a stunning shot from distance with just 20 minutes left on the clock. With his side now just one win away being crowned champions, the goal promises to be yet another iconic moment in this incredible title race. Pep Guardiola's team can secure its consecutive title, at the expense of Liverpool, if it wins against Brighton on Sunday. An emotional Kompany demonstrated just how important the goal was after a nervy night in Manchester. The Citizens were frustrated for much of the match by an impressive Leicester side which managed to snub out the host's impressive array of attacking talent. However, when the game looked to be heading toward a goalless draw, Kompany sent a missile into the top corner. "I hadn't scored this season but I always feel in big moments that I'm going to do something, I don't know if it's a header or what," Kompany told Sky Sports after the game. "Today was a little bit of frustration, everyone was saying 'don't shoot, don't shoot' and I could really hear it. I thought hold on a second, I've not come this far in my career for young players to tell me if I can take a shot, and I just had a go! ". Time and time again Kompany has stepped up to inspire Manchester City to victory in big games. He must now be considered as one of Manchester City's greatest ever players. His strike secured Manchester City's 13th consecutive victory in the league and was its 100th goal at home this season. Kompany had tears in his eyes at the full-time whistle. Nervy night Having had eight days to rest since its last match -- a narrow win over Burnley -- Manchester City started the game at a typical high tempo but it was an intensity matched by its visitors. Leicester City has been rejuvenated under new manager Brendan Rodgers -- winning five out of nine games since the former Liverpool manager replaced Claude Puel in February -- and looked sharp during the early stages of the match. However, just as the home crowd began to grow restless, Sergio Aguero reminded everyone of his team's infinite attacking talent as he almost gave his side the lead. The Argentine powered his way to the front post to meet a corner with a flicked header that rebounded off the woodwork, before goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel cleared off the line. Goal-line technology, which had awarded the hosts the winning goal in its last game, showed just how fine the margins are in this season's title race. Despite a sustained period of pressure from Manchester City, an entertaining first-half ended goalless giving hope to Liverpool fans across the globe. The second-half started in a similar vein, with the hosts dominating but failing to get the better of a resolute Leicester back line. In search of the breakthrough, Guardiola rolled the dice and sent on Leroy Sane as part of a front four which initiated an all-out assault on the Leicester goal. Aguero once again came agonizingly close before Kompany defied the odds with one of the moments of the season. Sergio Aguero had his effort cleared off the line in the first-half. Down to the wire The result sets up a mouth-watering prospect for the last day of the season, with Manchester City just one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. The Reds must win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers and hope Manchester City drop points away at Brighton. Such has been the form of both teams this season, the side that finishes second will have amassed the most points of any runner-up in Premier League history. "We are in the last game and it is in our hands. We are going to prepare well," Guardiola told BBC Sport after the match. "We'll see if Brighton defend deep or will be more offensive. It will be tough, but hopefully we will have the performance to be champions."<doc-sep>Pep Guardiola declared Manchester City will beat Leicester and go into the last day of the season top of the Premier League after their win over Burnley on Renault Super Sunday. Guardiola's side regained the league leadership from Liverpool with a 1-0 win over the Clarets at Turf Moor, with Sergio Aguero's goal proving the difference after goal-line technology proved his strike had crossed the line by a margin of less than 3cm. The City boss felt his side were unlucky not to score more - and that they should have had a penalty for a handball by Ashley Barnes - but confidently stated they would beat Leicester on Monday Night Football next week to go into the final game of the season, away at Brighton, top of the league. Image: Matt Lowton's control took the ball barely 3cm over the line from Sergio Aguero's shot Guardiola said: "In the second half we had another level, and created three, four or five chances which isn't easy against them - but we did it. "There was a penalty not given, and we had other clear chances. We could have won by more but I'm so happy with the win. "And now it's two games left, we need to be calm until next Monday, and against Leicester we are going to get three more points to go to Brighton to win the league." Image: The full-time whistle sparked big celebrations for Manchester City's players, with their side now two wins from the title City struggled to get into their stride before half-time, registering just seven shots to the 18 they managed after the break, and Guardiola - like Jurgen Klopp when Liverpool beat Cardiff a week earlier - felt some gamesmanship in Burnley's preparations had played its part in that. He said: "We controlled the first half but the pitch was so dry, the grass was so long, and there were problems moving the ball. It was an idea of theirs but even with that we controlled things. "After half-time we increased our desire to win, like at Old Trafford. But the way we played, I thought we would score. We knew we needed to go forward, don't concede fouls or corners, and we created a lot of chances." Despite registering only two shots all game, Burnley boss Sean Dyche said he was disappointed with the end result against City but could not fault his players, who he said turned the game into a "cup-tie" feel at Turf Moor. Image: Pep Guardiola and Manchester City had endured a frustrating afternoon at Turf Moor before Aguero's goal just after the hour mark He said: "We had a real go, and that was pleasing from a mentality point of view, because when you're safe you get people wondering how it will affect our performances. "But we took the game on, against a top side, a very technical side, and we're never going to beat them at their game so we had to make it as awkward as possible, turn it into a cup-tie feel and the game feels completely different. I thought we did that well. "They've got some great players, some really talented players, so I'm not disappointed with the performance, but you're still disappointed not to get anything from the game."<doc-sep>

Betting & Match Odds It is no surprise to see Manchester City as favourites, with bet365 giving odds of 2/11 on Guardiola's side to triumph. Leicester's chances of winning are rated at 14/1 and a draw is available at 8/1. Match Preview Manchester City and Liverpool have pushed each other intensely throughout the season and Guardiola's men will be desperate to ensure they don't relent with just two gameweeks left. The refusal of the Reds to succumb to Newcastle on Saturday as they snatched a late victory will have drawn some begrudging admiration from City and Guardiola has relished the challenge. “Arriving at this stage, two games left with 92 points, after 100 points last season... being there, that is the most satisfaction I've had as a manager,” Guardiola told reporters ahead of the Leicester clash. "It's not easy, honestly. In my career as a manager, I played against incredible sides. There are two that were 'wow'. One is Barcelona with Luis Enrique, with Neymar, (Lionel) Messi and (Luis) Suarez in front. The other is this Liverpool. "I think they're the best two sides I've faced as a manager. That's why being here, with it in our hands, fighting against them until the end. One of the biggest achievements."
