Pep Guardiola has promised that Manchester City will score their next penalty after he saw his side miss again from 12 yards against Leicester.
Sergio Aguero had a spot-kick saved by Kasper Schmeichel at the King Power though it didn’t matter too much with Gabriel Jesus going on to score the only goal of the game.
Aguero’s miss means City have now missed their last four penalties with the Argentine having failed with 13 of 49 spot-kicks during his career.
He follows Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan as City players who have missed attempts since December.

“The keepers are good too, but the next one we are going to score."
Guardiola had previously said that goalkeeper Ederson was the best penalty taker at Manchester City.

"Ederson is the best. Believe me, Eddie is the best taker we have on the penalties.
"He has no blood in his brains, he's so calm, so he could do it."

“[Riyad Mahrez] has a lot of quality and I thought 'go' because I know he has the quality to give me the ball, he gave a very good ball and I can score."
