Guardiola said Haaland is over the muscular problems that dogged him at times at Borussia Dortmund.

Rodri lumps it forward and Erling Haaland sets off on the chase but Leeds goalkeeper Ilan Meslier is quick off his line to deal with any danger.

From inside the Leeds penalty area, Haaland plays the ball left to Jack Grealish. 75 min: Erling Haaland is denied a hat-trick, appearing to get the ball caught under his feet after drifting between centre-backs and running on to a through ball.

I was a commentator in my own home about the World Cup but nobody was listening to me. We've seen in the training sessions he has the ability to put the ball into the net. Given the reputation he has and how tall he is, but his character is completely the opposite. Man City striker Erling Haaland told Amazon Prime: "I said to my team-mates I could have scored five and that's the truth. We were exceptional in the first half but we wasted opportunities... It was his first Premier League goal of the season and remarkably City's first from open play away from home in five games. The two performances since coming back, against Liverpool [in the Carabao Cup] and today have been great." Leeds had lost by an aggregate score of 11-0 to Man City over the course of their Premier League meetings last season and another heavy defeat looked on the cards before Pascal Struijk pulled one back with 16 minutes to play. City's 16 efforts made for the biggest disparity between two teams in any Premier League game this season. But Rodri's opener (45+1) moments before the break rewarded Man City's supremacy and when Haaland hit the net twice in 13 minutes there was only going to be one outcome. City eventually got their goal on the stroke of half-time, though, with Rodri brilliantly rolling on a De Bruyne pass for Riyad Mahrez before reacting quickest to turn in the rebound from his team-mate's shot. Leeds boss Jesse Marsch had coached Haaland at RB Salzburg earlier in his career but, like so many Premier League managers this season, could find no way to keep the prolific frontman at bay.

LEEDS 1-3 MAN CITY (PASCAL STRUIJK): Struijk may have just dragged Leeds back into this contest with his second goal of the season!

Grealish crosses and Haaland is at the near post to tuck a first-time shot past Meslier. LEEDS 0-1 MAN CITY (RODRI): City finally have the breakthrough! Lewis rolls a pass across the face of goal but from point blank range Grealish lifts it over the bar! Yes, he is getting into those dangerous positions but for a £100m player you would expect him to have the composure and knack to make the most of such opportunities.
