    Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is disappointed the Leeds football crowd didn't show respect for religious beliefs during City's 1-nil Premier League win at Elland Road

    Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is disappointed the Leeds football crowd didn't show respect for religious beliefs during City's 1-nil Premier League win at Elland Road


    Two City players who are fasting for Ramadan were booed when they took an officially-mandated break at sundown to take on vitamins and water.

    Guardiola shared his sympathy for them...but shrugged off nasty sledges yelled at him by the Leeds crowd.



    Manchester City's just two points adrift at the top of the table.

    The other winners this morning were Liverpool, Everton and Brentford.
