Semenyo maintained his impressive goalscoring form since joining City from Bournemouth in January, clinically converting a rare chance for the visitors in stoppage time before the interval. City’s fourth straight league win kept the pressure on Arsenal before their home game against derby rivals Chelsea on Sunday, while Leeds were left to rue a string of missed first-half chances. Haaland’s replacement Rayan Cherki was City’s only change following last week’s home win against Newcastle, while Leeds were unchanged after their 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. Darlow’s flying save kept out Marc Guehi’s header and it was mainly one-way traffic, with Leeds working tirelessly to prevent City carving out clear chances. Leeds lifted the home fans with a late flurry and substitute Jaka Bijol headed inches wide, but City held on to notch their 18th league win of the season.
