Leeds United's relegation run-in assessed against rivals Burnley and Everton

In a weekend where everything that could go wrong did go wrong, Leeds United were dragged deeper into the relegation fight than they have been all season. A spirited performance - but ultimately one that lacked quality - at home to Manchester City ended with a 4-0 defeat and injuries to two of the club’s most experienced players.

Liam Cooper failed to make it through the warm-up, while Stuart Dallas’ late challenge on City’s Jack Grealish ended with a broken femur and a season finished. Jesse Marsch’s side pressed and harried, but lacked composure going forward and discipline when defending set-pieces.

Burnley were 1-0 down an hour before Leeds kicked off, but by full-time at Vicarage Road they had won 2-1 - two goals in the last 10 minutes giving Burnley their third win in a row since the sacking of Sean Dyche.
