Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan has detailed his missed penalty in victory over Leeds.

City manager Pep Guardiola was upset as Erling Haaland handed spotkick duty to Gundogan who was on a hat-trick.

The captain said: The moment Erling grabbed the ball, I was sure he was going to take it but he looked out for me.

I checked with him a few times to make sure he was sure. He was certain to hand the ball to me.

I was confident to score. I can't even remember if the keeper saved it or it was the post? We should have scored a third.

This is sometimes how it is that they go on the counter and score. Things can change, momentum can shift.

But we dealt quite well with it and deserved the three points."
