Sam Allardyce's 'moral victory' despite Leeds United's defeat at Manchester City

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood says Sam Allardyce couldn't believe his Leeds United side lost by a single goal margin at Manchester City. Many had expected Pep Guardiola's side to thump the Whites, who have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season.

A first-half brace from Ilkay Gundogan put Man City in the driving seat, but Rodrigo's late goal meant Leeds still had a fighting chance in the dying minutes. The Whites were unable to find that all important equaliser, but many supporters were happy with the performance.

Man City had a late penalty to go 3-0, with Erling Haaland handing the ball over to Gundogan for his hattrick, much to the displeasure of Pep Guardiola.
