Ilkay Gundogan's Man City team talk had deliberate message amid Arsenal title race

Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan netted a brace as Pep Guardiola's side extended their lead in the Premier League title race to four points with a 2-1 win over Leeds on Saturday.

While there was some controversy after Gundogan missed an 84th-minute penalty having been offered the opportunity to score his first City hat-trick by regular taker Erling Haaland, an 85th minute consolation strike from Rodrigo was not enough to trouble the league leaders as they held on for all three points.

City are well-placed to win their third consecutive Premier League title this season, having now won their last ten league games in a row to capitalise on Arsenal's loss of form. City have done this before, having twice beaten Liverpool to the title by a solitary point in recent years.
