"Leeds ought to have broken the deadlock inside three minutes. Marc Guehi fell under a challenge from Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the halfway line, but a foul wasn't given and the hosts broke at pace. Brenden Aaronson's cross for an unmarked Calvert-Lewin was stabbed wide."
"With the final kick of the first half, City went in front. Rayan Cherki's delicious ball between the lines found Rayan Ait-Nouri, who put a low cross on a plate for Antoine Semenyo to tap in."
"Leeds rediscovered their intensity in their push for a late equaliser, and nearly found it when Jaka Bijol nodded narrowly wide from a deep corner. But that was as close as the hosts came as Pep Guardiola's men held on to take three precious points back to the Etihad."

In the second half, Omar Marmoush had two chances to extend City's lead but failed to capitalize.
