Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Leeds United in the 28th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, thanks to a goal from Semenho. City defender Ete Nouri stated that the players need to continue fighting game after game and maintain this attitude until the very last moment.

The score remained unchanged until stoppage time in the first half. Rajan Sherki orchestrated an attack, and Ait Nouri received the ball and crossed it from the penalty area. Semenio seized the opportunity and slid in to score, giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead.

Neither side managed to score again, and Manchester City ultimately defeated newly promoted Leeds United 1-0 at Elland Road. With this fourth consecutive win, Manchester City currently sits in second place in the standings with 59 points, five points behind leaders Arsenal, keeping the title race closely contested.

"We work hard to implement the manager's tactical arrangements, and we are full of confidence in playing for this team," said 24-year-old Ait Nouri.

“We need to keep fighting like this until the very end, but we still need to take it one game at a time. We are playing with a great group of teammates, and playing this way helps us a lot, but we must keep working hard and focus on the next game.”

Furthermore, when mentioning midfielder Rodri, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said, "What else can I say? With him and Bernardo Silva on the field, their pressing, whether to the left or the right, is excellent, making it very difficult for the opponent to defend."

“Rodri is a great player, and I’m very happy. We haven’t had him for a long time, and he’s gradually getting back to his best.”
