Rodri lays down goal challenge to Manchester City’s defenders to help ease the pressure on the club’s all-star attack and boost their title defence and keep the pressure on leaders Arsenal

Rodri has laid down a challenge to Manchester City's defenders and midfielders to contribute more goals and ease the pressure on the club's star-studded attack.

The Spanish midfielder notched his first goal of the season in the 3-1 win over Leeds on Wednesday night, after City missed a string of chances in the first half at Elland Road.

Erling Haaland then added a brace in the second half to take his Premier League tally to 20 for the season. However, the 26-yer-old, believes that everyone in the side should be trying to contribute to City's goals haul.
