The ratings.
3-5-2 really suited some players and got more out of them. DCL a game changer.

FT Man City 3-2 Leeds United
A vastly improved second half. Not one I think anyone saw coming. Close to getting something, at least.

Leeds forced deep, City looking for angles for crosses and shots, Foden is central and manages to squeeze an effort through the bodies. Perri maybe doesn't see it until late.
Cruel.
3-2

City want a penalty but play goes on. Leeds were scrambling in their six yard box.
Struijk clears off the line and it almost goes in.
2-2

Nmecha's pen saved but he tucks in the rebound. Pandemonium.
Justin off, Gudmundsson on.
Time for Lucas Perri to discover an injury.
2-2!!!
