Manchester City have moved to within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal after a 1-0 win against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday.
The victory, courtesy of a goal from January signing Antoine Semenyo, marks the club's fourth consecutive league win. According to a report by BBC Sport, City's form has improved significantly since Semenyo's arrival.
Semenyo's goal, his sixth in 11 appearances for the club, has eased the goalscoring burden on Erling Haaland, who was absent due to injury. City manager Pep Guardiola praised his team's performance, saying it was a "complete game" in a "tough, tough place".
Police and Fan Reaction
Guardiola also reacted to insults from Leeds fans during the game, blowing kisses to his family in the stands after the match. The win was a significant one for City, who have lost only one of their past 15 games when playing a day before Arsenal.
Team Performance
Semenyo's arrival has coincided with an impressive run of form for City, with the team averaging 2.4 points per game in Haaland's absence. The Norwegian's injury has not been revealed, and it is unclear if he will be fit for the game against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
Guardiola's Comments
Guardiola stated, "We just need to control what we can control, win our games, and we will see what happens." He also praised Semenyo, saying, "We are building these players and they have a long, long time here. It is important for the future for the club."
