The match between Manchester City and Leeds United took place at Elland Road on December 28. Manchester City emerged victorious with a 3-1 score.

The Whites were only able to score once, and it was scored by Pascal Struijk.
Manchester City defeated Leeds 3-1 at Elland Road with the 19th and 20th Premier League goals from Erling Haaland.
City took the lead on halftime when Rodri scored, and Haaland scored twice in the second half. Pascal Struijk scored Leeds’ consolation.
Leeds’ early signs were ominous as Haaland was slipped in with less than a minute left but was repelled by Illan Meslier, who would have a busy night.
City applied pressure as halftime approached, with Gundogan testing Meslier and Jack Grealish missing three good chances.
In first-half added time, Meslier parried Riyad Mahrez’s shot to Rodri, who scored.
Leeds’ second-half collapse began when Grealish intercepted Liam Cooper’s pass and passed it to Haaland, who scored City’s second.
Grealish’s neat cut-back found Haaland at the near post, who tucked a first-time shot past Meslier for his second assist of the night.
Struijk scored his second goal of the season with a header from Sam Greenwood’s corner, but it was a consolation for Leeds fans.
Haaland missed a great chance for a hat-trick, and Joe Gelhardt nearly set up a grandstand finish with a shot that went wide.
Man City moves above Newcastle into second, five points behind Arsenal, while Leeds remains 15th, two points above the relegation zone.
