JAKARTA - Winger Phil Foden scored the first goal in one minute and the last to give Manchester City a 3-2 win over Leeds United in the English Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium, Saturday, November 29, 2025 evening WIB.

Man City got up and returned to winning ways when they hosted Leeds. Pep Guardiola's manager also paid for his mistakes by making Man City achieve three important points in domestic competitions.

The hosts' victory was not separated from Foden's brilliant performance. He scored a goal when the game had only been running for one minute. Furthermore, Foden broke into the opponent's goal for the second time in injury time and closed the match with a win.

The result made Man City move up to second place with point 25. They also shifted Chelsea to third place. Meanwhile, Leeds is still in the relegation zone. They are ranked 18 or third from below with 11.

Man City actually started impressively. Moreover, Guardiola is no longer miscalculated by replacing almost all players like when they lost 2-0 against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

By fielding the best squad, they managed to take the lead quickly. The game just started, Foden was able to break into the Leeds goal. When the Leeds players have not all touched the ball, Foden, who received an assist from Matheus Nunes, successfully beat goalkeeper Lucas Perri.

Winning 1-0 through a quick goal immediately increased the adrenaline of the Cityzens players. They kicked off Leeds' defense with offensive play.

Foden had the chance to score his second goal in the 20th minute. But his shot was blocked. Likewise, Nico Gonzalez's efforts failed to provide results.

After a series of attacks failed, Man City finally managed to break the deadlock to add goals. This time, Josko Gvardiol, who managed to break into The Whites' goal in the 25th minute.

This goal started with the action of Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders who controlled the ball from the middle sector. He then released a pass to Nico O'hali. From him, Gvardiol received an assist which was converted into a goal.

Man City also won 2-0. A sweet start after the defeat in the Champions League. The advantage of the two goals lasted until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Man City took the initiative to attack again. Moreover, they are ahead of possession of up to 64%.

Unfortunately, Erling Haaland et al are too confident in ignoring the defense sector. Leeds used this situation well to break into Gianluigi Donnarumma's goal.

The visitors' goal was created quite quickly, namely in the 50th minute. Just five minutes into the game, front player Dominic Calvert-Lewin took advantage of the chaos situation in front of the Man City goal. Nunes' attempt to throw the ball fell at the feet of Calvert-Lewin who threw the ball into Donnarumma's goal.

Next, it was Gvardiol's turn to make a mistake by bringing down Calvert-Lewin in the penalty box in the 66th minute. No doubt, the referee pointed to the spot. Although he had time to review the incident via VAR, the referee remained in his decision.

However, Lukas Nmecha failed to carry out the execution because he could be blocked by the goalkeeper. But he immediately reacted by welcoming a wild ball. His kick broke into the Man City goal which made the score change 2-2.

When the match was expected to end in a draw, Foden appeared as a savior by scoring his second goal in injury time. The goal made Man City turn 3-2 ahead and the score lasted until the game was over.
