Phil Foden shared his thoughts on a 3-2 victory for **Man City**against Leeds United.
The Citizens crashed to a 2-1 loss to Newcastle United that left them seven points adrift of league leaders **Arsenal**by the end of last weekend, and they suffered another defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at the Etihad Stadium in midweek. So, Foden’s first minute strike was the ideal reply.
Josko Gvardiol got on the scoresheet, and City seemed to be coasting to three crucial points. But Daniel Farke found an adaption, changed the system, and introduced Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds levelled the scoreline in the second half, but Foden found the back of the net at the death to take all three points for City. The action was a reminder of how competitive Leeds look in spells when they are in front of their fans, so Foden was happy to have emerged victorious over the Yorkshire outfit.
"It's up there as one of the wildest games. We had full control in the first half. They changed their system in the second half and we couldn't get going.
"It was a frustrating half. But when there was a short break the manager got us together and we adapted to their formation. We had a few half chances and finally I've found a bit of space and found the bottom of the net.
"There are still things we can improve. We're delighted with the result.
"The title race is never straightforward. There's always ups and downs and periods where you can't seem to get going and we've had that. The belief and togetherness came through at the end.
"Hopefully that's the case today that we can kick on from here. But you never know what to expect.
"I was so hungry today to play and prove to myself I could still score goals. I missed a few chances against Newcastle and wanted to put it right."
