Man City vs Leeds LIVE: Premier League result and final score

Man City 2-1 Leeds: Ilkay Gundogan scored twice but Rodrigo’s late goal made it a nervy ending for the Premier League leaders

Big Sam will have impact on Leeds - Pep

Hard-charging Manchester City went four points clear of Arsenal at the top the Premier League on Saturday, beating Leeds United 2-1 with a pair of near-identical goals from Ilkay Gundogan, stretching their winning league run to 10 games.

City’s prolific striker Erling Haaland graciously handed the ball to Gundogan to take a penalty kick in the 84th minute for what would have been a hat trick, but Leeds keeper Joel Robles had no trouble turning aside his shot.

City had run circles around Leeds with numerous excellent scoring chances before Gundogan struck in the 19th minute from the edge of the 18-yard box off a pass from Riyad Mahrez. Mahrez teed up Gundogan again eight minutes later in a carbon copy of his first goal.

Rodrigo Moreno pulled one back for Leeds in the 85th minute.

With four games left, Pep Guardiola’s side have 82 points to Arsenal’s 78, and if the Gunners lose to Newcastle on Sunday City will have all but locked up an illustrious third consecutive title. Leeds, playing their first game under interim manager Sam Allardyce who was parachuted in in a last-ditch effort to avoid relegation, are teetering in 17th place - and all three teams below them have a game in hand.

Liverpool 1-0 Brentford

88 mins: Brentford certainly haven’t given up hope of getting something from this game as they make another attacking change. Full-back Hickey is taken off with Wissa joining the forward line off the bench.

Liverpool 1-0 Brentford

84 mins: WIDE!! Hickey is isolated in defence and his attempt to head the ball back to his goalkeeper goes awry. Gakpo latches onto the loose ball but slashes the effort wide from the right side of the box.

Liverpool have had chances to kill this game off and their fans will be hoping it doesn’t come back to haunt them.
