Leeds United U23s 1-3 Manchester City U23s: Young Whites beaten as attendance record smashed
Last ditch defending
22’ Charlie Cresswell called into evasive action, sliding in to deny a chipped Samuel Edozie finish from reaching Klaesson.
GOAL! City 2-1 up
12’ Electric start to this one as Cole Palmer nets the visitors’ second in near-identical fashion. Ball played down the right, it’s knocked back inside by Kayky and Palmer runs onto it, opening his body and slotting beyond Klaesson into the bottom corner.
GOAL! City equalise 1-1
8’ Immediate response from the visitors. Kayky is played in down the right and he slots past Klaesson with a cool finish. Simple stuff. Elland Road thought he was offside, but the linesman kept his flag down.
GOOOOOOALLLLLL! MATEO JOSEPH 1-0
Leeds United hit the front through No. 9 Mateo Joseph. The young Spaniard picks his spot low to the ‘keeper’s right after Leeds broke forward. McGurk with the lay-off.
