Tooor for Leeds United, 2-1 through Rodrigo
And all of a sudden the guests come back! After weak defensive behavior, Akanji heads in front of his own sixteen Rodrigo. The native Brazilian doesn’t miss the chance: his left-footed shot from 15 meters hits the bottom left.
84
17:42
Penalty missed by İlkay Gündoğan, Manchester City
An unusual picture: It is not Haaland who takes the penalty, but Gündoğan. The 32-year-old is desperate to score his first hat-trick in men’s football – and shoots the ball at the right post.
83
17:41
Penalty for City! Struijk, just substituted on, tripped Foden. The referee immediately points to the point.

Both teams are currently not getting much on the chain. Naturally, the Sky Blues are the better team, but they don’t go for the third goal with final determination.
74
17:34
By the way, Haaland is still waiting for his goal. The top scorer remains on duty on his 35 goals this season.

The final phase breaks in, the hosts still have many top performers on the field. With a view to the Champions League semifinals during the week, Guardiola could certainly swap one or the other.

Post! Lewis serves Haaland, who turns around his own axis at the central edge of the penalty area. His shot from the left bounces off the right post and into the goal.
61
17:19
Leeds have definitely become a bit more active. Instead of under 20, the away team now generates 24 percent possession. Alone: That’s not worth much at the moment.

After the half-time whistle, of course, things continue as before. City generates a lot of possession. The 3-0 seems only a matter of time.

17:08
Haaland is just not lucky yet. De Bruyne circles a free-kick from the right half-field to the far post. There Laporte slips into the ball and brings it to the other edge of the five-meter space. Haaland rushes up, but only heads against the post from a very short distance. In addition, Laporte was previously offside.

It continues without personnel changes.

Kick-off 2nd half
45+3
16:51
Mid-term conclusion:
Half-time in Manchester, the sky blues deservedly lead 2-0 against the whites. They dictated what happened from the start and created numerous chances. Ultimately, it was not Haaland, Mahrez or Álvarez who scored, but Gündoğan: The captain scored twice. Defensively, on the other hand, the Guardiola team doesn’t have to worry too much, as Leeds acted far too fearfully and could only pose a threat after one set piece. In the second round, only the amount of the result seems to be pending. See you soon!

End of 1st half
45+2
16:48
De Bruyne’s free-kick heads Aké on goal, Wöber clears the penalty area. There, Foden takes off directly from 17 meters, but slams the ball past the left of the bend with a great shot.
45+2
16:46
Yellow card for Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds United)
Gnonto is late on the left back against Mahrez. He is rightly shown yellow for his offence.

16:43
At the moment there are many indications that we are going into the catacombs with this 2-0 lead. A good result from the point of view of the Allardyce squad.
38
16:39
Apart from the McKennie header, there is hardly anything to see from the relegation candidate so far. Offensively, this is far too harmless for something that can be counted.
35
16:35
Haaland is the addressee of a good pass from De Bruyne. When he tries to shoot, he first hits the ball with his left toe, so he swings past the ring with his right leg.
33
16:34
After more than half an hour, the lead for the home side is absolutely fine. It could well be 4-0 here.
30
16:31
Even Ederson has to go! McKennie rises highest after corner from left. The keeper safely defused his header from eight yards.
27
16:27
Tooor for Manchester City, 2-0 through İlkay Gündoğan
Gündoğan puts together the double pack! The 32-year-old welds the ball from 17 meters slightly half-right into the bottom left corner. The goal was preceded by another flat pass from Mahrez from the right into the orphaned backcourt.
25
16:25
The next fat chance for the citizens! De Bruyne puts down a half-field cross from Gündoğan for Haaland. The ex-Dortmunder moves the game device from twelve meters from half left but right next to the box.
22
16:22
After a high cross from the left in the sixteen, Mahrez steered the marble from a sharp angle from the right and a short distance onto the gate roof. lucky for the guests.
19
16:18
Tooor for Manchester City, 1-0 through İlkay Gündoğan
The deserved lead for Manchester! De Bruyne takes Mahrez with him from the middle with a smart outside instep pass. The Algerian refuels on the right edge of the penalty area and gives a flat shot to the backcourt. Gündoğan is in the right place there – his direct shot from 15 meters hits the bottom right of the net.
17
16:18
Haaland! The Norwegian appears after a quick pass from headquarters on the left in the sixteen meter area. From eight meters he fails at Joel.
16
16:16
Good opportunity for City! De Bruyne finds Álvarez with a flat cross from the right wing. The offensive man hits the pill free-standing from 13 meters.
13.
16:13
Striking: The Allardyce squad takes absolutely no risks. A promising counterattack breaks off Bamford to play around the back.
10
16:10
Now the Whites also dare to enter the opposing half. But first Ederson intercepts a long pass, because Bamford heads over it from a difficult position from the inside right.
7.
16:07
The game knows only one direction in the first few minutes – namely in the direction of Joel’s case. The guest keeper didn’t have to intervene yet.
4.
16:04
It starts as expected. Leeds is deep, City crushes the opponent with possession.
15:41
The Whites are caught in a true negative run. Five of their last six meetings have failed and they are currently 17th thanks to a better goal difference. Poor results after the previous defeat at AFC Bournemouth (1-4) meant that coach Javi Gracia had to pack his bags. Only one real veteran sits on the bench: 68-year-old Sam Allardyce. With the experienced trainer, the course should now be set for relegation – preferably directly with a surprise at the favorite citizens.
15:20
It’s going great for the Sky Blues. They have been going from victory to victory since mid-February, back then on matchday 24 (1-1 at Nottingham Forest). Ten three-pointers in a row and a whopping 30 points ensured that they were able to capture the sometimes undisputed leaders FC Arsenal. With a game down, they are currently in first place, but the lead over the Gunners is only one point. In this respect, a triumph is a must, especially in the home game against the ailing Leeds.
15:03
Hello and welcome to Matchday 35 of the Premier League! Manchester City want to extend their lead over championship rivals Arsenal today. The opponent: Leeds United. Kick-off at Etihad Stadium is at 4pm.
