PHILLING IN THE CRACKS

Foden finishes what he started after sloppy City get all jittery

- BY ANDY HAMPSON

PHIL FODEN scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester City killed off a Leeds fightback to snatch a dramatic victory.

Struggling Leeds had fought back from 2-0 down at the interval to level and put themselves in sight of an unlikely and much-needed three points in the Premier League.

That would have eased the pressure on their under-fire manager Daniel Farke, but Foden, who had begun the afternoon by scoring inside the opening minute, had other ideas.

As the game went into 10 added minutes, the England midfielder's low strike found the bottom corner.

The goal was greeted with huge relief by the hosts, who had looked comfortable after Josko Gvardiol had added to Foden's early strike.
