Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne was happy for goalscorer Benjamin Mendy after victory over Leicester City.
The Frenchman broke the deadlock just before the hour mark with a superb curling strike beyond the sprawling Kasper Schmeichel, his first goal for the club with his weaker right foot.
With 16 minutes remaining, City made it two through Gabriel Jesus, who poked into an empty net after Raheem Sterling squared the ball inside the box.
"They played defensive and we had to be patient. That's what we did and I was happy for Mendy to break the deadlock," he said.
"I thought we were really good today. Especially the first half we totally dominated. They had the chance with Vardy but in the first half there was basically one team playing.
"If you look at 90 minutes it was 2-0. I think we deserved more goals. After an international break, that's really well done by the team."
