"Manchester City defeated Leeds United 3-2 with two goals from Phil Foden in what turned out to be a very tense affair at the Etihad. The Blues were on the back of two consecutive defeats and were looking to bounce back at home. It was not quite as convincing as they might have wanted. Donnarumma started in goal. O'Reilly, Dias, Gvardiol, and Nunes were at the back. Gonzales, Reijnders, and Silva were in midfield with Doku, Foden, and Haaland in attack."
"City wasted no time in breaking the deadlock, with a goal inside just 2 minutes when Nunes cross found the foot of Foden, whose volley came off the bar and into the net to make it 1-0. City doubled their lead in the 25th minute after Reijnders swung in a corner from the left which deflected off O'Reilly onto Gvardiol for the defender to score his first premier league goal of the season."
"The second half did not go as planned for the Blues however, and within just 5 minutes, Leeds pulled a goal back after a mistake in defence from Nunes led the ball to drop nicely for Calvert Lewin who placed the ball in the net narrow City's lead to 2-1. Leeds now had momentum following their goal and continued to put pressure on the City defence, dominating possession in doing so."
Manchester City defeated Leeds United 3-2 at the Etihad, propelled by two goals from Phil Foden. City took a 2-0 lead through Foden's early volley and Josko Gvardiol's deflected header from a Reijnders corner. Leeds reduced the deficit early in the second half through Calvert-Lewin after a defensive error by Nunes, then equalised when Lukas Nmecha converted a rebound from a saved penalty. City regained the lead later in the match to secure all three points. Donnarumma started in goal and the lineup included O'Reilly, Dias, Gvardiol, Nunes, Gonzales, Reijnders, Silva, Doku, Foden and Haaland.
