Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Manchester City FC is hosting Leeds United FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Leeds United FC is showing some good football. However, Leeds United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 8' Brilliant from the right winger! Phil Foden makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 8.
  • 13' Jack Grealish has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 13 minutes.
  • 18' A quiet spell here at Etihad Stadium. Leeds United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' The referee shows Leeds United FC player a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' Cody Drameh has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 358 appearances.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 32' GOAL! Kevin De Bruyne scores on 32. Assisted by Rodri
  • 37' The 26-year-old Jamie Shackleton has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' Mateusz Klich has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jamie Shackleton on 38 minute.
  • 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ruben Dias.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pep Guardiola will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' The whistle greets Bernardo Silva as he departs to be replaced by Ilkay Gundogan.
  • 49' Riyad Mahrez makes no mistake. The score reads 4-0 and Manchester City FC are in front.
  • 54' Rodri has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 56' Another substitution for Manchester City FC to replace Rodri by Fernandinho on 56 minute.
  • 61' Manchester City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Leeds United FC's shape.
  • 62' Kevin De Bruyne does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
  • 65' A change in the Manchester City FC ranks — Ruben Dias exits the field as Nathan Ake enters on 65.
  • 70' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 73' Cody Drameh gets the nod from Leeds United FC. He replaces Junior Firpo and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. John Stones makes it 6-0.
  • 78' Magnificent from Nathan Ake! That is 16 goals in 335 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 83' Tyler Roberts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 88' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Aymeric Laporte suffering a number of foals already.
  • It finishes all square. Manchester City FC and Leeds United FC share the spoils 7-0.
