The Manchester City striker leaves the penalty, then missed, to Gundogan and a minute later Leeds reopen the game: Pep is furious
MANCHESTER – Il Manchester City ruined his debut on the Leeds bench by Allardyce and maintain their lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League. 2-1 victory for the Citizens, who however took a risk with Leeds’ 85th-minute goal which reopened the match. Guardiola was angry because just a minute before the match could have been closed permanently, if it hadn’t been for Haaland’s altruism.
Guardiola and the phrase about Haaland
Already 2-0 up, City gets the penalty kick in the 84th minute which could end the game. Haalandthe team’s infallible penalty taker, decides to leave the shot at Gundogan to give him the opportunity for a hat-trick (the German scored the two goals in the match). “You have to take it”, “Devi tirarlo tu”, Guardiola yells at him from the bench. From the penalty spot, the midfielder hit the post, and shortly after Leeds closed the gap. Guardiola did not hide in the post match and beat Haaland: “The match wasn’t over. This shows how generous Erling is, but if you’re 4-0 up it’s fine, 2-0 instead…”, he underlined.
