Savinho scores his first goal for Man City against Leicester

The 20-year-old Brazilian made no mistake in front of goal as he took advantage of the rebound from Foden, who had fired from long-range, to open the scoring against Leicester City,

It was Savinho's first goal for Manchester City since his arrival from feeder club Troyes. The English champions paid 40 million euros to bring him to the Etihad in July. 

It took Savinho four months to unlock himself under Pep Guardiola, who seemed to be losing faith in the player after conceding him less than 30 minutes of game time over three matches.

In light of the special occasion, City's No.26 announced a new baby on the way, as he celebrated by tucking the ball under the shirt after his goal.
