Saturday has been another huge day in the fight for Premier League survival after Leeds United’s 4-0 loss at home to Manchester City. Jesse Marsch’s side certainly didn’t lack commitment and stayed true to their managers ‘pesky’ claim but ultimately fell short via two set-piece goals and late strikes from Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho.
The odds were stacked against the Whites in the first place, before Liam Cooper’s warm-up problem and Stuart Dallas’ serious-looking injury made the improbable near-impossible.
Elsewhere, one key result went against Leeds, with Burnley coming back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 at Watford thanks to two goals in the last 10 minutes. The comeback sealed Burnley’s third win in a row and took them above Leeds on goal difference, with the two sides five points above Everton.
