Two-goal hero Ilkay Gundogan walked into a blast from furious boss Pep Guardiola after missing a late penalty that almost opened the door for a Leeds comeback on Saturday.
The Manchester City star put City in control with two identical first half goals at the Etihad. But when Phil Foden was fouled by Pascal Struijk late on, usual penalty taker Erling Haaland handed his skipper Gundogan the ball to clinch his hat-trick.
Leeds keeper Joel Robles tipped the ball onto the post leaving Guardiola to tell Haaland: "You’ve got to take it". Seconds later, Leeds broke away to score through substitute Rodrigo to spark a dramatic finale, as victory saw City leapfrog Arsenal at the top.
