"Pep Guardiola's side put the pressure back on Arsenal, who play Chelsea on Sunday and are two points clear of Man City. Feisty Leeds were very good early and late but Ruben Dias, Rodri, and the City defensive structure soaked up plenty of pressure to help Gianluigi Donnarumma keep another clean sheet."
"Antoine Semenyo slides the ball over the line after Rayan Cherki's brilliant entry pass to Rayan Ait-Nouri is put on a plate in the middle of the six. Leeds couldn't get it to halftime as City have been living in Leeds' final third."
"Leeds manager Daniel Farke was shown a red card after the final whistle for a furious remonstration at the officiating crew, as the hosts stall on 31 points in 15th place. They stay six points clear of the bottom three."
Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Leeds at Elland Road, with Antoine Semenyo scoring in the 45th minute.
