'Best in the world' - Man City fans laud Rodri and Phil Foden after opener vs Leeds United

Manchester City fans have been reacting to their opening goal against Leeds United after Rodri nodded home from Phil Foden's inch-perfect cross.

The Spanish midfielder grabbed another important goal for the Blues inside the opening 15 minutes with a deft header to give City the lead. They had an early scare after Joao Cancelo slipped in the centre circle but the hosts couldn't capitalise as Rodrigo failed to spot Raphinha unmarked at the back post.

With Foden coming up trumps once again and Rodri notching another huge goal, fans were keen to make their feelings on the pair known. Here's how they reacted on Twitter.
