Leeds 0 Man City 4 LIVE SCORE: Fernandinho with late strike after Jesus hits third – Premier League latest

Sponsored by

FERNANDINHO, Gabriel Jesus, Nathan Ake and Rodrigo's goals saw Manchester City overhaul Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.

City saw rivals Liverpool win 1-0 at Newcastle earlier in the day.

But Pep Guardiola's side were in no mood to let the Reds stay top of the pile and Rodrigo's early headed goal settled their nerves.

Stuart Dallas has been hauled off on a stretcher after appearing to injure his knee in a challenge with Jack Grealish.
