Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola made an admission about the comeback that Leeds United threatened at the Etihad and praised a Whites figure after Saturday’s 2-1 victory for his title-chasing side.

A hugely dominant City led 2-0 at the interval through a brace from Ilkay Gundogan who then looked to complete a hat-trick when taking a second-half penalty awarded for Pascal Struijk’s foul on Phil Foden. Gundogan, though, saw his penalty tipped on to the post by Whites keeper Joe Robles whose side then pulled a goal back a minute later through Rodrigo.

City eventually saw out the game to pick up all three points but Guardiola admitted the contest was far from over with just a 2-0 lead and that regular penalty takers Erling Haaland or Riyad Mahrez should have taken the spot kick.

The City boss also praised new Whites manager Sam Allardyce and in particular his impact at improving his side’s set pieces which Guardiola was highly pleased his team stood firm from.
