Haaland resumes normal service as City go top, Leeds win thriller

Manchester City's Erling Haaland resumed normal service after missing his side's last two games when his stoppage-time penalty gave the 10-man champions a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham to move top of the Premier League on Saturday.

The Norwegian phenomenon, who came off the bench, took his total to 18 Premier League goals for the season as City overcame having Joao Cancelo sent off in the 26th minute.

Leeds United backed up their stunning win over Liverpool last week when they stormed back from 3-1 down at home to Bournemouth to win 4-3 with Crysencio Summerville again the hero with the winning goal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers named Spaniard Julen Lopetegui as their new manager earlier on Saturday but, with caretaker Steve Davis still in charge, they lost again, this time 3-2 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, to stay mired in the relegation zone.

On an afternoon of late goals, bottom club Nottingham Forest snatched a 2-2 home draw with Brentford thanks to an own goal by Mathias Jorgensen in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

Haaland had missed City's last two games with an injury and was deemed fit enough only for the bench against Fulham.

He was sent into the fray just past the hour mark with City, despite being a man light, pushing for the winner.

Almost immediately he had a headed goal ruled out for offside after a VAR check, but neither he, nor City, would be denied.

When Kevin de Bruyne was tripped by Antonee Robinson in the area it was Haaland who took the penalty and while it was not his sweetest strike, the ball hit the back of the net.

"I don't care how it went it, it is about it going in. Amazing feeling," Haaland said. "When you've go 10 versus 11 for 70 minutes it is difficult, but I don't think any team would do it
