Leeds United U23s 1-3 Manchester City U23s: Young Whites beaten as attendance record smashed
FT: Leeds United U23s 1-3 Manchester City U23s
All over. Elland Road certainly got its' money's worth, despite the result. New PL2 attendance record on the night and a valiant, battling display full of quality to match. City just had that little bit extra. 21,321 at an U23 fixture. Crazy.
GOAL - City 3-1 Liam Delap
88’ Liam Delap’s deflected effort wrongfoots Klaesson and trickles into the net for a third. Leeds have deserved something from this.
Probing
81’ Leeds are really straining to find this equaliser. One-two between Miller and Gray finishes with the latter clipping a cross onto Joseph’s head in the middle. Not enough purchase on the header and an easy claim.
Ciy chance
Samuel Edozie dances through and shoots. His attempt ricochets off Cresswell’s leg and over for a corner.
