10man Leeds United humiliate Man City

QVNIMTE3Mzk1NDg2.jpg

This was another meeting of two tactically brilliant coaches. Pep's notorious rotation ensured that De bruyne, Mahrez and Gundogan were benched while Ake makes his first start since boxing day due to a musculr injury. Ferran Torres also starts while Zinchenko starts in the midfield.
In the first half, Man City looked to be on the attack while Leeds looked to counter with their wingers.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 42nd minute when Cooper played a long ball to Costa who plays the ball to Bamford, then to Dallas who strikes the ball from outside the box

Leeds United faced a huge blow when Liam Cooper got sent off during the stoppage time of the first half for a reckless tackle on Jesus.
In the second half, Leeds got more defensive due to their one man deficiency. They held on pretty well with Meslier making some good saves; Fernandinho looked to pound the Leeds goal from outside the box. The Leeds defense was broken when Torres slotted the ball past Meslier.

The Leeds team kept their mentality high and eventually retook their lead when Dallas scored from a brilliant counter during the stoppage time of the second half which made me to cheer like i was a Leeds fan.

Man City have gotten their 4th loss of this premier league campaign. Pep Guardiola is still yet to have a win over Leeds.
