The match started with a prayer for the departed soul of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh husband of Elizabeth II in the Etihad Stadium. Where Leeds made Manchester City taste the dust of ground despite having 10 men down throughout the 2nd half.

The diversion swung in City’s support fair sometime recently the break when Liam Cooper was rejected for a revolting jump on Gabriel Jesus which was upgraded from a yellow card to a red after VAR had instructed Andre Marriner to audit the choice on the pitchside monitor. Ferran Torres former Valencia man-made that one goal for Manchester City at 76′ min and then near to end Liam Cooper brace came.
Pep Guardiola’s men required fair 11 more focuses to secure the Premier League title but were met by a strong Leeds side, who took the lead at the Etihad Stadium when Dallas found a way through (42).
Since February 2007 losing 0-2 against Reading FC now Manchester City suffered their first home defeat against a promoted side in 42 Premier League games. Adding to it Leeds has scored more goals from outside of the box than any other Premier League club this season (12) so far.
FULL TIME | Leeds take all three points at the death.

Congratulations to Leeds first of all. Secondly, 11 v 11 was a game like we make two actions but we control, our build-up was good and we create some clear chances. Then we made a mistake, didn’t defend it well and they scored a goal.
“When you win, you’re a genius and when you lose … I don’t have any regrets about the selection because I trust a lot of them. Maybe they don’t trust me but I trust them because if I didn’t trust them they wouldn’t play.”
