BIELSA’S ULTIMATE SMASH AND GRAB

MAN CITY boss Pep Guardiola will be scratching his head and wondering how his side lost to 10man Leeds. The league leaders dominated the ball and the shots on goal but, crucially, did not make it count before Stuart Dallas raced away to score his second and winning goal. 2 Of the 77 teams Man City boss Pep Guardiola has faced in his managerial career, Leeds are one of just two sides he has failed to beat (along with Middlesbrough).

CITY pushed so many players forward in search of goals in the second half that goalkeeper Ederson was the only player to have his average position inside his own half. 29Man City attempted 29 shots against Leeds, the most by a losing team in a PL game since Arsenal in December 2017 (33 v Man Utd).

Centre back John Stones was so advanced in the second half that he almost played as an attacking midfielder. Of his 59 touches after half-time, only six of them were in his half.
