GOAL: City ahead on Allardyce's debut

It took less than 20 minutes for Leeds' defence to be torn apart by the home side, with Sam Allardyce's reign getting off to a tricky start. Gundogan was the man to fire home, much to the Etihad's delight.

Sam Allardyce's Leeds always had a tough task ahead of them, going away to City as the Sky Blues go in search of yet another Premier League title.

And things haven't got off to the best start for the side from Yorkshire, with the hosts opening the scoring after less than 20 minutes.

It was German superstar Ilkay Gundogan who was the man to open the scoring. The move started off from De Bruyne, who sprayed the ball out to the right flank for Mahrez. 

The Algerian then cut inside, laying it off to an on-coming Gundogan, who made no mistake from just inside the box, slotting it past Robles into the bottom corner.
