Leeds put up quite a fight and looked impressive in stages, but Manchester City had too much for them and the title battle is still very much on.
The chase continues then. A win for Manchester City puts them back to five points behind Arsenal in the Premier League, back above Newcastle United into second place. There were stages at Elland Road when they didn’t quite look on top of things, particularly during a profligate first half.
Leeds were up to 15th in the Premier League by the time they took to the pitch to play Manchester City, although such is the nature of that very congested half of the table that they were also just three points off the bottom. Much of the rest of the first half was set to a soundtrack of increasing derision from the home supporters towards Jack Grealish, who wasted opportunities from increasingly straightforward looking positions, culminating in him ballooning the ball over the crossbar from eight yards when it may have been easier to hit the target.
But Leeds didn’t give up. After losing their way with the two second-half goals the home crowd started to get behind the team – the loudest rendition of ‘Marching on Together’ heard all evening came shortly after City scored their third goal – and with 17 minutes left Pascal Struijk headed in from a corner to reduce the deficit.
