Nov 30 (V7N) — Manchester City finally returned to winning ways in the English Premier League, edging past Leeds United 3-2 in a thrilling encounter on Saturday (November 29).
City got off to a dream start when Phil Foden scored in the first minute, giving the champions an early lead. The hosts doubled their advantage in the 25th minute, with Julian Álvarez (reported as Guardiola in some accounts) adding the second.
Despite trailing 2-0 at halftime, Leeds made a stunning comeback, scoring twice to level the match and raising hopes of snatching all three points.
However, it was Foden once again who made the decisive impact. In the 10th minute of added time, the England midfielder struck a low shot into the net, securing a dramatic 3-2 victory for City.
The win brings much-needed relief to Pep Guardiola’s side after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen last week.
