LEEDS, England — Erling Haaland became the first player to score 20 Premier League goals in a season before January by hitting two against his hometown team Leeds on Wednesday as Manchester City won 3-1 at Elland Road.
With league leaders Arsenal beating West Ham on Monday, it was crucial that City maintained the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners with a win against Jesse Marsch’s Leeds.
Rodri‘s opener and Haaland’s double were enough to seal the three points before Pascal Struijk headed in a late consolation goal for Leeds.
