They now have four Premier League games left and for the first time this season have a significant lead over second-placed Arsenal, who travel to third-placed Newcastle on Sunday. Pep Guardiola's side march on, with the next step in their Treble bid coming against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Tuesday, in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. Their noisy supporters roared them forward in search of an unlikely equaliser but City were not in the mood to let the three points slip. Manuel Akanji failed to deal with a long ball and substitute Rodrigo beat Ederson with a low finish. That gave Leeds hope and, only 58 seconds later, they were somehow back in the game. Regular penalty-taker Haaland passed up the chance to take it and add to his 51-goal tally for the season, but saw Gundogan miss out on a hat-trick when he sent his effort against the post. Their best chance to wrap the game up came with six minutes to go, when Pascal Struijk fouled Phil Foden inside the area and referee Andrew Madley pointed to the spot. Even Erling Haaland, for once, failed to score - his best effort came back off the post.
His second, again with Mahrez the provider, was identical apart from that he found the opposite corner of the net.Ĭity were in full control but could not find a third goal to finish Leeds off after the break. Gundogan's first neat finish, which came after Riyad Mahrez found him in space on the edge of the area, was into the bottom left-hand corner of Joel Robles' goal.
