Yorkshire Evening Post
|December 02, 2025
Leeds United were unable to reward themselves for a spirited second-half performance at Manchester City on Saturday, eventually losing 3-2 in devastating fashion.
The Whites fought back from 2-0 down to draw level thanks to goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha, with their hosts looking rattled.
City managed to regain control of the game as full-time approached, however, and after opening the scoring inside the first minute, Phil Foden landed a late gut punch to Leeds hearts with a 91st-minute winner. Here are the YEP's key talking points from the defeat at the Etihad.
