All of the goals came in the first half at the Etihad Stadium, with David Silva's opener for the home side allowed to stand despite a strong suggestion of offside.
Gabriel Jesus's penalty increased their lead, before Shinji Okazaki pulled one back with a spectacular volley.
The oddest moment of the match, though, came in a scrappy second half, when Mahrez slipped as he converted a penalty that would have made it 2-2 and touched the ball twice.
According to the laws of the game, a penalty taker cannot touch the ball again until another player has done so.
