Richard Dunne was incredulous with what he saw from the Manchester City defence he used to lead as they were torn apart by Leicester in the first half of their Premier League clash.

City's defence looked overwhelmed as Jamie Vardy scored either side of a sublime strike from Andy King to see the Foxes speed out to a 3-0 lead inside 20 minutes, eventually racking up a 4-2 win.

Dunne, an uncompromising defender in his days in the blue half of Manchester, was left irate in the BT Sport studio as he picked apart his former club's first half display.

The pundit even called for his former team-mate Joe Hart to return from his loan in Torino to address the mess in the City back line.

'You're watching it and every time Leicester come forward you think they are going to score,' said Dunne

'[City] are wide open. [For the first goal] it's one long ball, a great pass through by Mahrez but [City] are playing into Leicester's hands.

Robbie Savage was in agreement with his fellow pundit, calling City's defending 'shocking'

'There's no shape, there's no leader on the pitch organising it. Even as far back as the goalkeeper there doesn't look there's any communication.

'Joe Hart is one person who always spoke for Manchester City. You could always hear him and maybe someone like him would sort them out defensively.'

Robbie Savage was in agreement with his fellow pundit, making a point about how the performance would be viewed if it was overseen by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

Savage said: 'If Jose Mourinho was managing that Manchester City team he would be getting absolutely hammered for that display. Absolutely shocking defending.
