After a rather inauspicious start for them; that saw Man City controlling the lion's share of possession and going ahead through a patented goal from Raheem Sterling; the second half saw the game explode into life as both teams went for the jugular in an end-to-end; NBA-style contest.
Ederson; such a beacon of consistency and widely considered as one of the best goalkeepers in the world; was guilty of a glaring error; dropping the ball from a corner and allowing Leeds' star signing Rodrigo to score into an unguarded net; for his first goal for his new club.
The match was then there for the taking; and it was in fact Ederson who more than atoned for his error with a Save of the Season-contender; tipping Rodrigo's reflex header brilliantly onto the crossbar. In fact; Leeds were so good they actually controlled the majority of possession and had more passes and shots on target to boot. Make no mistake: Marcelo Bielsa's ravaging team is here to stay.
