A stoppage-time winner from Phil Foden helped Manchester City to a 3–2 victory over Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
It was the English playmaker who kick-started the action at the Etihad by scoring inside the first minute, and City looked poised to cruise amid an abject Leeds showing in the first half. Joško Gvardiol doubled the hosts’ lead midway through the opening period, but the Croatian was then among the Sky Blue culprits who let the visitors back into the game.
The arrival of Dominic Calvert-Lewin at half-time completely shook the once comfortable hosts, with the Leeds centre forward scoring, then winning the penalty from which Daniel Farke’s side equalised.
This was a classic “game of two halves” case, but Foden’s second of the game meant the hosts escaped with an unconvincing but much-needed three points.
