Manchester City returned to winning ways with a 3–2 win over Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to a stoppage-time finish from Phil Foden. After a tough week and criticism over Pep Guardiola’s squad choices, City needed a result, and they got one in the most dramatic way.
City started well and took control early, moving the ball quickly and creating chances around the Leeds penalty area. Their pressure paid off as they found openings between the lines and pushed the visitors back. Leeds struggled to keep up with City’s tempo in the first half, but they stayed alive through sheer defensive effort.
The momentum shifted after the break. Leeds came out with more intensity, pressing higher and forcing City into mistakes. Their improved energy paid off as they struck twice to pull themselves level, turning the match into a tense, back and forth battle.
Just when it looked like City were dropping points again, Phil Foden came alive. One quick touch, one calm finish and gave City the win they were desperate for.
