Pep Guardiola

blush

at the dawn of the season.

A triplet by

Jamie Vardy

propelled Leicester this Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, where they assaulted Manchester City in style with a win that hurts (2-5).

The local team promised them very happy when the Algerian Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring, but it was a mirage.

Vardy became his executioner again.

For the second time in his career he achieved a

triplet

against the Catalan's City (two of his goals from penalties), according to the EFE agency.

Before game time, Leicester was already leading 1-3.

Guardiola made his debut in the Premier to the young Liam Delap and gave entry to the also young Spanish

Ferrán Torres

.

He found no solutions.

James Maddison raised the 1-4 and although the Dutch defender Nathan Ake seemed to make up the result somewhat, the Belgian Youri Tielemans, once again with a maximum penalty, signed the final 2-5, a result that shakes any dressing room.

After the doubts last summer, where there was speculation with Guardiola's departure and after having failed again in the

Champions League

(eliminated in the quarterfinals by Olympique Lyon), this little

hand

at home does not help to start the new season with good face.

The culprit of such a notorious goring to one of the favorites for the title, the team of Brendan Rodgers, is at the top of the Premier by goal difference (12 in favor and 4 against), equaled with nine points with the Italian's Everton Carlo Ancelotti and the Colombian James Rodríguez.

The English league starts with new protagonists in the head.

The City yields its first defeat and also forcefully.

They haven't conceded five goals at home since February 2003 against Arsenal.

For Guardiola it is the first time that has happened to him in his 686th game as coach.

And beat Bayern

Another of the striking headlines on the international football day was the defeat suffered by the best team of the year,

Bayern Munich

.

Three days after winning the European Super Cup -

their fourth title of the year

-, the Bavarians gave up their first points in the Bundesliga, losing 4-1 against

Hoffenheim

, the only team that has been able to defeat them since 7 December.

The win could have been somewhat exaggerated but the victory of Hoffenheim - who became

leaders of the Bundesliga

after the second day - was fair and the result of an intelligent and intense match in which Bayern accused the wear of the 120 minutes of the Super Cup against Sevilla.
