Erling Haaland has finally stopped scoring. Luckily for Manchester City, Phil Foden stepped up with two goals — one very early and the other very late — to rescue a win in the Premier League on Saturday.
A wild 3-2 victory over Leeds was sealed by Foden's curling shot from the edge of the area in the first minute of stoppage time, allowing City to jump to second place and trim the gap to Arsenal to four points.

The England playmaker earlier scored after just 59 seconds — for what briefly was the fastest goal in the league this season — before Josko Gvardiol added a second for City in the 25th.
Leeds, which is languishing in the relegation zone, replied in the second half through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha — a striker who came through City’s academy — as City showed frailties exposed in defeats over the past week to Newcastle in the league and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Foden saved City with his late intervention, answering the call of manager Pep Guardiola for others to share the scoring burden that has fallen almost entirely on Haaland this season.
The Norway striker has failed to score in three straight games for City — having netted in 17 of his previous 18 matches for club and country in what was the hottest streak of his career — and remains on 99 goals in the Premier League.
Reaching the 100-goal milestone against Leeds, where he was born in 2000, would have been poignant but the wait goes on.
“He’ll do it next game," said Guardiola, who had an animated discussion with Haaland on the field after the final whistle.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke accused City of gamesmanship by conducting a team talk with Guardiola while City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was receiving attention for an injury during the visitor's dominant period in the second half.
“If you just try to bend the rules to your advantage and you can do a fake injury in order to do an additional team talk, it is nothing I personally like,” Farke said, "but if it is within the rules, I can’t complain about it.”
Arsenal can restore its seven-point cushion over City by winning on Sunday at Chelsea, which has dropped to third.
Foden was displaced as the scorer of the Premier League's earliest goal of the season just a couple of hours later.
Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw glanced home a header at a corner after 55 seconds to set his team on its way to a 4-1 win at Everton.
The German center back scored another after the break, adding to goals from Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade, to make it 4-0. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored Everton's consolation in Newcastle's first away win of the season.
Tottenham lost for a third time in seven days, this time to Fulham 2-1 after conceding two goals in the opening six minutes of the match.
Fulham's second goal — by Harry Wilson — was a beauty. After Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario came out of his goal and made a weak clearance, Wilson received the ball out on the touchline and whipped a first-time finish into an empty net before Vicario could get back to stop it.
Mohammed Kudus pulled a goal back for Spurs with a dipping shot into the top corner, but there were jeers by home fans at the final whistle at the end of a week when Tottenham was beaten by fierce rival Arsenal in the league and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Tottenham has slipped to 10th place.
Sunderland produced an even better fightback than Leeds, also coming from two goals down and going on to beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Stadium of Light.
Brian Brobbey completed the comeback with the winner in the 69th for Sunderland, while Bournemouth's second goal was a shot from nearly 50 meters by U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams.
While Haaland goes through a mini-drought, his nearest challenger in the Premier League scoring chart cannot stop hitting the back of the net.
Igor Thiago converted a penalty and added another goal for Brentford in a 3-1 win at home to Burnley.
The Brazilian striker moved onto nine goals for the campaign, five behind Haaland after 13 games.

DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A grandmother and her 5-year-old grandson burned to death in Gaza when their tent caught fire while cooking, as thousands of Palestinians endure colder weather in makeshift housing.
The nylon tent in Yarmouk caught fire Thursday night while a meal was being prepared, a neighbor said. A hospital official said that two Palestinian men were killed by Israeli gunfire on Friday in Gaza.
The shaky 12-week-old ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas militant group has largely ended large-scale Israeli bombardment of Gaza. But Palestinians are still being killed by Israeli forces, especially along the so-called Yellow Line that delineates areas under Israeli control.
On Friday, American actor and film producer Angelina Jolie visited the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
Over the past few weeks, cold winter rains have repeatedly lashed the sprawling tent cities, causing flooding, turning Gaza’s dirt roads into mud and causing damaged buildings to collapse.
Aid groups say not enough shelter materials are getting into Gaza during the truce. Figures recently released by Israel’s military suggest it hasn’t met the ceasefire stipulation of allowing 600 trucks of aid into Gaza a day, though Israel disputes that finding.
Israel has said throughout the war that Hamas was siphoning off aid supplies, preventing the population in Gaza from receiving them. Last month, the World Food Program said that there have been “notable improvements” in food security in Gaza since the ceasefire.
Palestinians have long called for mobile homes and caravans to be allowed in to protect them against living in impractical and worn out tents.
Jolie met with members of the Red Crescent on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing and then visited a hospital in the nearby city of Arish to speak with Palestinian patients on Friday, according to Egyptian officials.
Her visit sought to raise support for the displaced and humanitarian workers in the crises in Gaza as well as in Sudan, Jolie's team told The Associated Press in a statement.
“What needs to happen is clear: the ceasefire must hold, and access must be sustained, safe and urgently scaled up so that aid, fuel and critical medical supplies can move quickly and consistently, at the volume required,” Jolie said about Gaza.
Reopening the crossing, which would allow Palestinians to leave Gaza — especially the ill and wounded who could get specialized care unavailable in the territory — has been contentious. Israel has said that it will only allow Palestinians to exit Gaza, not enter, until militants in Gaza return all the hostages they took in the attack on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the war. The remains of one hostage are still in Gaza.
Israel also says Palestinians wanting to leave Gaza will have to get Israeli and Egyptian security approval. Egypt, meanwhile, says it wants the crossing immediately opened in both directions, so Palestinians in Egypt can enter Gaza. That’s a position rooted in Egypt’s vehement opposition to Palestinian refugees permanently resettling in the country.
For more than two decades until 2022, Jolie worked with the U.N. refugee agency, including as a special envoy.
On Friday, the foreign ministers of Arab and Muslim countries, including Egypt, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, expressed concern about Gaza's humanitarian situation.
The situation has been “compounded by the continued lack of sufficient humanitarian access, acute shortages of essential life-saving supplies, and the slow pace of the entry of essential materials," according to the joint statement.
The Palestinian death toll from the war is at least 71,271, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which doesn't distinguish between militants and civilians in its count. The Israel-Hamas war began with the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack in southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.
On Friday, two Palestinian men were killed in separate incidents by Israeli gunfire in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, a hospital official said. Israel's military said troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip killed a person who “crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat to them."
Meanwhile, Israel continues operating in the occupied West Bank.
On Friday, the Palestinian Prisoners media office said that Israel carried out numerous raids across the territory, including the major cities of Ramallah and Hebron. Nearly 50 people were detained, following the arrest of at least 50 other Palestinians on Thursday, most of those in the Ramallah area.
Israel's military said there were arrests made of people “involved in terrorist activity." Last week, a Palestinian attacker rammed his car into a man and then stabbed a young woman in northern Israel, killing both of them, police said.
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society says that Israel has arrested 7,000 Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem this year, and 21,000 since the war began. The number arrested from Gaza isn't made public by Israel.
