Bernardo Silva was delighted to prove Manchester City's matchwinner in their 1-0 win at Leicester City.
City secured a third straight league win after seeing off Leicester City in an entertaining game at King Power Stadium.
Goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel and Ederson made crucial saves in a free-flowing match to keep their respective teams on level terms before Bernardo Silva's close-range finish settled a fine contest.
The Portuguese pounced after Joao Cancelo's shot was deflected by Caglar Soyuncu into Silva's path.
At 0-0 Manchester City's Ederson saved well from Harvey Barnes, while at the other end Gabriel Jesus was twice denied by Schmeichel.
Leicester created several chances, Barnes clipping the top of the bar with a header before Jamie Vardy had a goal ruled out for offside.
Silva's goal means City have won all their games since starting the defence of their Premier League crown with a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.
He later said, "They also had their chances. It's a very tough team to play against. Leicester, for me, are one of the best teams in the league. We should have scored a little bit earlier in the first half but we got the three points and in a very tough place to play. We are very happy with the win.
"I always try to do my best to help the team and today I was able to with a goal so I'm very, very happy with that.
"We know how good they are on the ball. We know how this team plays. We suffered against them in the Community Shield. We tried to stop them on the counter-attacks. Our goalkeeper was very good today for us too. Three points and now we move on."
On Jack Grealish's 100th Premier League appearance, Silva added: "A quality player and a very nice guy. He is one more to help the team. Hopefully we can help him to progress, score more goals and get more assists. A very, very good player."
