Haaland endured a rare goalless ninety minutes in City’s dramatic 3–2 win over Leeds, leaving his chase for a 100th Premier League goal on hold and leading to a visibly tense touchline conversation with Pep Guardiola at full time, watched closely by cameras. City surrendered a two goal lead before Phil Foden’s stoppage time winner rescued the points and lifted them to second.
