Into the match
First twenty minutes were of Leeds.They attacked mainly from the left wing,bypassing succesfully Mendy but none of the balls went in.City had a penallty appeal for a handball of Aylin inside the sixteen meters zone ,but the referee doesn’t count.Later in the last six of the first half a superb pass from Fernandinho who turns into Mahrez down the right to beat his man to get into the box. Sterling screams for the cut back and gets it. However, his finish from 10 yards under no pressure is a bobbly one and dribbles harmlessly wide. Should score.City had another shot with Jesus from outside but he couldn’t score.
If you don’t score ,concede the first and most important law of football proven again.Costa beats Cancelo in the right to give Bamford a ball ,who took it brilliantly and gave a pass to Dallas who shots a net with the helf of the post.Three minutes after the goal in the last minute of the first half Cooper decides to break Jesus knee ,but his jump and moment kept him with no further harm.Terrible tackle from Cooper,who took a yellow first ,but after VAR interference he was obviously sent off.
Second half started with homeside domination.Stones fistly made some interceptions.Later on he would move like a typicall attacker.City were moving without the ball.A combination from a verticall ball in th 75′ minute given from the creative foots of Fernandinho found Silva inside the zone.The position was in discussion but he was onside.Silva finds easily Torres with a pass and he scores in the right side of Illan Meslier.
City continued to attack and left no spaces behind.They had a counter opportunity,but neither of their players had a good ball keeping technique.They had pace but they couldn’t keep the ball well.After these chances vanished the real chance of the game would come with Rafinha of Leeds United one on one with Ederson.In the 85 minute Leeds has the chance of the golden goal with Rafinha trying to dribble Ederson ,but he takes the ball.Last five minutes saw Gundogan from the right side crossing for Fernandinho but his header was in the hands of the Meslier.Next action Dallas in front of Ederson after Alioski’s assist and he knows how to beat Ederson.Game ended with an important win for Leeds with two chances created in the second 45 minutes and a man down…
