What a footballing display Manchester City put on tonight at the Etihad Stadium. Undoubtedly one of the Sky Blue's most complete games. They have scored goals of all colours and almost half the team.
Guardiola's team started off easily dominating the game. It was in the 8th minute that they took the lead. It was Phil Foden who scored a goal from the edge of the box that Dallas could have avoided but failed to clear.
City continued to press and create dangerous chances in the box and five minutes later, Jack Grealish scored a great header from Riyad Mahred's cross from the right flank. With the goal it looked like City would drop the intensity, but it wasn't to be. They continued to dominate the game completely and Leeds were unable to get into Ederson's box.
In the 32nd minute, Kevin De Bruyne received a great ball and scored in accordance with his quality. With this they reached half-time, with the home side clearly in control and the fans enjoying their team.

After the break, it was business as usual or even worse for Leeds. In the 48th minute Mahrez scored the fourth goal and from then on it was a comfortable stroll for City.
Kevin De Bruyne got his brace after a great strike from the edge of the box. The Belgian managed to score the most beautiful goal of the match and was unstoppable for Meslier. He had a very complete game and Pep didn't want to replace him.
And that's when Leeds dropped their arms and surrendered to their opponents. So much so, that two serious defensive lapses led to two more goals scored by City' centre-backs. First Stones scored and then four minutes later the recently joined Nathan Ake.
All in all, 7 goals for City who played a great game to stay top of the Premier League with 41 points. Leeds suffered their worst defeat in the PL and remain with 16 points in 15th position.
