Manchester City 2 [Foden 1, 90+1; Gvardiol 25] Leeds United 2 [Calvert-Lewin 49; Nmecha 68]
Phil Foden scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester City killed off a Leeds fightback to a snatch a dramatic 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Struggling Leeds had remarkably fought back from 2-0 down at the interval to level and put themselves in sight of an unlikely and much-needed three points in the Premier League.
That would have eased the pressure on their under-fire manager Daniel Farke but Foden, who had begun the afternoon by scoring inside the opening minute, had other ideas.
As the game went into 10 added minutes, the England midfielder’s low strike found the bottom corner.

The goal was greeted with much relief by the hosts, who had looked comfortable after Josko Gvardiol had added to Foden’s early strike.
Leeds were revived by the half-time introduction of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who pulled one back after a blunder by Matheus Nunes and then won the penalty from which Lukas Nmecha equalised at the second attempt.
Everton 1 [Dewsbury-Hall 69] Newcastle 4 [Thiaw 1, 58; Miley 25; Woltemade 45]
Malick Thiaw scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season after 55 seconds as Newcastle United recorded a first away win of the campaign with a 4-1 success over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade added two more in the first half as Newcastle led 3-0 at the break, before Thiaw bagged his second as the visitors took advantage of more poor defending from their hosts.
It was the perfect 48th birthday present for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, a boyhood Everton fan, despite a superb goal for the hosts from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Tottenham Hotspur 1 [Kudus 59] Fulham 2 [Tete 4; Wilson 6]
Tottenham’s woeful Premier League home form continued as Fulham claimed their first away victory of the season with a 2-1 win thanks to early goals by Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson.
Tete’s deflected shot put the visitors ahead after four minutes and two minutes later Wilson took advantage of Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario’s mistake with a stunning second.
Fulham should have been home and dry before half-time with Samuel Chukwueze denied by the post and then by a goal-saving tackle by Micky van de Ven as Tottenham wobbled.
But the hosts were a different proposition after the break and dominated the game after Mohammed Kudus halved the deficit in the 59th minute with a powerful dipping shot.
Tottenham were unable to salvage anything though and have not won a home league match since the opening weekend.
Sunderland 3 [Le Fée 30 pen; Traoré 46; Brobbey 69] Bournemouth 2 [Adli 7, Adams 15]
Brian Brobbey came off the bench to snatch Sunderland victory as they fought back from two goals down to beat Bournemouth 3-2.
Amine Adli’s opener and Tyler Adams’s stunning long-range strike had given Andoni Iraola’s men a dream start on a wintry afternoon at the Stadium of Light.
However, Enzo Le Fée’s penalty and an equally emphatic Bertrand Traoré finish either side of half-time set the stage for Brobbey – who denied Arsenal victory on Wearside with a late equaliser in his side’s last home game – to win it.
Brentford 3 [Thiago 81 pen, 86; Quattara 90+2] Burnley 1 [Flemming 85 pen]
Igor Thiago scored twice in the last 10 minutes to help Brentford beat relegation-threatened Burnley 3-1 after an exciting finish to their clash at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 81st minute from the penalty spot before Zian Flemming responded with a spot-kick of his own a few minutes later.
Just as it appeared that the spoils would be shared in west London, Thiago popped up in the box with a brilliant 86th-minute finish before Dango Ouattara wrapped up the points in stoppage time.
Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher denied Axel Tuanzebe with a brilliant close-range save in the 34th minute after the ball fell kindly for the Burnley defender from a free-kick.
Kelleher made another crucial intervention with three minutes remaining of the half, producing a strong hand to stop Zian Flemming’s effort from the edge of the area, which looked set to find the top-right corner.
