Yesterday, the former Solicitor General had strongly pitched for live telecast of the proceedings to make it transparent. Kejriwal said that the journalist was willing depose once the Commission of Inquiry starts working.
Sterling took another from Sagna, a looped ball in from the wing that the former controlled on his chest and hit early before it reached the ground.
Schmeichel came to Leicester’s rescue in the 25th minute, as the Danish shot-stopper pulled off a fine low save to keep out Sterling’s half-volley.

City are third on 36 points, just one ahead of Tottenham.
“It’s slightly disappointing but we’ll take a point”.
It also leaves City in touching distance of the top of the table going into the New Year.
