Loud boos could be heard during a brief break in play to allow players observing Ramadan to break their fast during Saturday's Premier League game between Leeds United and Manchester City. The 17:30 GMT kick-off at Elland Road was paused in the 13th minute as both sets of players came to the side of the pitch to take on fluids. City had three Muslim players - Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush - in their starting line-up, with Abdukodir Khusanov on the bench. BBC Sport has contacted Leeds United for comment. City went on to win the game 1-0 through Antoine Semenyo's goal in first-half stoppage time.
