Overview
- Play was briefly halted in the 13th minute at sunset for about 78 seconds under the Premier League’s Ramadan protocol, yet boos were audible despite an on‑screen explanation.
- Pep Guardiola urged fans to respect religion and diversity, while anti-discrimination group Kick It Out called the jeers “massively disappointing.”
- Leeds assistant Edmund Riemer described the reaction as disappointing and said the club needs to learn from it following the 1-0 defeat at Elland Road.
- In messages to supporters, Leeds said it is looking into why the booing occurred and how to prevent similar incidents, including clearer pre‑match communication.
- Manager Daniel Farke later suggested many fans may not have realised the reason for the pause, which is a league‑sanctioned welfare measure during Ramadan.
