- RESULT - Manchester City 7-0 Leeds United
City double the lead
1. Corner half cleared, ball delivered back in and Jack Grealish heads home. Lost his marker. Far too easy. Ayling played the attackers on side, it was Mahrez’s deliver. It could be a long night now.
City chance
14. City surge forward. Llorente takes out the runner. Ball is swung in and Laporte fires over under pressure, he’s down and wants a penalty. Nothing doing.
City in complete control
16. No pressure coming from Leeds whatsoever. It’s a seriously long night from here. City completely on top and dominating possession. United really struggling to get out.
Leeds goal-kick
19. Low ball in from Mahrez, who is down the right. De Bruyne is at the near post but can’t work an effort on goal. He’s appealing for a corner but a goal-kick is given.
Firpo booked
20. Mahrez is pulled back by Firpo as he advances in the Leeds half. Yellow card. That’s also a suspension so he’ll miss Arsenal. Free-kick is headed away.
City on top
22. I wish I could be more positive but I can’t. Leeds have hardly had a sniff of the ball so far.
Leeds come forward
25. The rarest of attacks for Leeds. Some nice play by Dallas, then Raphinha. James is released down the right and crosses but City hook the danger away.
