The win, coupled with Sunderland's 3-2 triumph over Bournemouth, sees the Black Cats rise to fourth place in the Premier League. Foden opened the scoring in the first minute with a well-taken finish, and Josko Gvardiol doubled the lead for City in the 25th minute. However, Leeds fought back in the second half, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulling a goal back for the visitors before Lukas Nmecha equalized from the rebound of a saved penalty. Foden sealed the win with a late strike, sending the home fans into raptures. The win puts Manchester City on 25 points from 13 games, four points behind leaders Arsenal, who visit Chelsea on Sunday.

For Sunderland, the victory marked a significant comeback after finding themselves 2-0 down to Bournemouth at halftime. Enzo Le Fee's penalty and Bertrand Traore's equalizer early in the second half sparked a remarkable turnaround, culminating in Brian Brobbey's headed winner from a corner kick. The win sees Sunderland move to 22 points, while Bournemouth remain ninth with 19. Newcastle's victory, which included the fastest goal of the Premier League season, further highlights their resurgence under new management.
