Man City spoil Allardyce’s return despite penalty drama FMTNews FMTSports
MANCHESTER: Pep Guardiola told Erling Haaland not to be so “generous” after the Norwegian handed over penalty duties to Ilkay Gundogan in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Leeds yesterday.
“If Gundo scores everyone is ‘Okay, hattrick, well done’. But a taker is a taker. At 2-0, this is a business, not a situation where we can forget it.” The former England boss was quickly teased with chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” as the visitors failed to offer any resistance to wave upon wave of City attack early on.“Second half we sorted it out, and we got on the front foot to try and challenge them,” said Allardyce.
Kevin De Bruyne’s return from injury was another timely boost for City’s quest for a treble of trophies and the Belgian’s brilliant lay-off should have been buried by Haaland, who fired wide.
