Born in Leeds 22 years ago, where his father used to play, Erling Haaland was unmoved as he scored twice for the local side in Manchester City's 3-1 Premier League victory, the Citizens' first since the World Cup.
Pep Guardiola's men move within 5 points of leaders Arsenal, resuming the march after the defeat suffered by Brentford before the break.
The match was unlocked by Rodri at the end of the first half, then Haaland closed it before 20' thus touching, but without rejoicing for the goals, 20 in the scorer's table after 15 rounds but a few mistakes too many denied him the fourth hat-trick of the season.
Leeds, in their second consecutive defeat, remain just two points above the relegation zone.
