Manchester City suffer 4th PL defeat as 10-man Leeds record 2-1 win at Etihad

Stuart Dallas scored a brace for Leed United as they notched up a famous 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday. This loss marked Manchester City’s fourth Premier League defeat.

Dallas broke the deadlock just three minutes before halftime but the celebration was cut short as captain Liam Cooper was shown a straight red card in first-half stoppage time.

The visitors withstood a City bombardment until Ferran Torres equalised 14 minutes from time.

But Leeds still summoned the energy to pose a threat on the counter-attack and gained their reward when Dallas slotted below Ederson.

Bielsa’s first win in five meetings against Pep Guardiola propels Leeds to ninth in their first season back in the English top flight for 16 years.

Guardiola paid for heavily rotating his side with Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final, second leg, against Borussia Dortmund clearly his priority.

City still enjoy a 14-point lead at the top of the Premier League and need just 11 points from their remaining six matches to guarantee a third title in four years.
