Overview
- Phil Foden scored twice, including a stoppage-time strike, to seal Manchester City's 3-2 home win over Leeds after a two-goal lead vanished.
- City's other goal came from Josko Gvardiol, with Leeds pulling level through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and a Lukas Nmecha penalty before Foden decided it.
- The brace lifts Foden to six goals this season, second only to Erling Haaland for City, after he also opened the scoring inside the first minute.
- Pep Guardiola publicly aligned with England coach Thomas Tuchel in saying Foden is best in central positions, while praising his readiness to play wide when needed.
- Leeds manager Daniel Farke criticized a stoppage for what he called a 'fake injury' to City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma; ESPN noted on-field treatment is permitted for goalkeepers under FA rules, which Farke acknowledged is within the laws.
