Manchester City confirms its lead with seven goals against Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds

Manchester City confirmed its supremacy in this edition of the Premier League humiliating on Tuesday Leeds United, the Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, whom he won 7-0, at the start of the seventeenth day.

With this victory, City consolidated their lead with four and five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea, who host Newcastle (19th) and Everton (14th) on Thursday respectively.

With this defeat, Marcelo Bielsa’s team remains in a dangerous sixteenth position, with 16 points.

When a Pep Guardiola / Marcelo Bielsa duel would make any football fan dream, there was actually no match at the Etihad.

With the return of Phil Foden and Kevin de Bruyne in the starting eleven, the starting of Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva, City seemed determined to exploit any failures in the defense of the Peacocks, who are often generous in that regard.

City’s goals were scored by Phil Foden (8), Jack Grealish (13), Belgian Kevin De Bruyne (32, 62), Algerian Riyad Mahrez (49), John Stones (74) and Dutch Nathan Aké (78 ).
