Improve on Monday and lose 4-0
One of the quirks of dishing out player ratings in this job is trying to justify higher marks in a 4-0 loss than were given for a 0-0 draw away from home. Leeds United played better on Saturday, but had nothing to show for it, largely because of Manchester City’s finishing.
As both head coaches said, this was not a four-goal game. Two set-pieces turned the match. The third goal came on the break and the fourth was perhaps down to wandering concentration in the dying embers of the encounter.
