MANCHESTER CITY continued their match towards the title with a routine victory over Leeds United.
The Whites, under new management following the appointment of Sam Allardyce, were unable to overcome the challenge posed by Pep Guardiola’s league leaders.

A first half brace from Ilkay Gundogan set the hosts on their way, with both goals bearing striking similarities to one another.
This being in the form of a cut-back to the edge of the area before the German rifled home past Joel Robles on his Leeds Premier League debut.
The bright spot – if it can be considered that with Leeds edging closer to relegation – was keeping Prem record breaker Erling Haaland at bay.
The City ace was once again at the centre of many of his sides attempts against his Dad’s old team, but he ended his afternoon frustrated after some wasteful finishing which saw him hit the woodwork twice.
Gundogan then missed late on from the penalty spot before Rodrigo fired in a consolation to set up a grand-stand finish.
