This may not be a City team of the classic Guardiola genre. A seam of courage and cussedness and experience runs through this City team. Daniel Farke’s Leeds team don’t give anything away here in front of their own crowd. On the touchline, with 25 minutes gone, Guardiola was looking agitated and it was with good reason. Leeds still worried City when they broke but they no longer had a grip on the game.
