Manchester City beat Leeds United 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and it should have been by a much larger scoreline. FULL MATCH REPLAY Ilkay Gundogan struck twice in the first half to seal City’s 10th straight win but he hit the post with a penalty kick as he failed to seal his hat trick.
Moments later Rodrigo made it 2-1 as Pep Guardiola was furious Erling Haaland didn’t take the spot kick. City held on for the win as Leeds will be happy enough with the narrow defeat but Sam Allardyce’s side barely had any chances in the final third aside from their goal.
With the win Man City go four points clear atop the Premier League table as they have 82 points. Leeds remain on 30 points and in the relegation scrap.
Pep is never content. That was evident in the closing stages of this win, a 10th straight Premier League victory to take City four points clear atop the table.
