Premier League: Cityzens thrash Leeds 4-0 to overtake Liverpool in Premier League Title Race

After Liverpool claimed a 1-0 victory at Newcastle United earlier on Saturday, City needed a win to regain a one-point advantage in their hard-fought battle with the Reds. Pep Guardiola’s men simply need to win each of their four remaining games to wrap up the Premier League title, while Leeds remain in danger of relegation after slipping to 17th.

The visitors rested several players, including Kevin De Bruyne, ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Real Madrid, and could have fallen behind early on when Rodrigo Moreno delayed his pass after capitalising on Joao Cancelo’s slip.

But City took the lead after 13 minutes when Rodri met Phil Foden’s left-wing free-kick with a glancing header, diverting the ball into the top-right corner.

Junior Firpo fired over when presented with the hosts’ best opening in a quiet first half, and Jesse Marsch’s men lost Stuart Dallas to a serious-looking injury shortly before the break.

Jack Grealish bent a shot narrowly wide of the top-right corner after Raheem Sterling danced through the home defence after 52 minutes, but Ake doubled their lead soon after, prodding home after Ruben Dias met a right-wing corner.

City made the points safe when Jesus latched onto Foden’s pass to fire past Illan Meslier after 78 minutes, before Fernandinho drilled a 25-yard strike into the bottom-left corner as the visitors cruised.

What’s next?

That eventually resounding victory sees City return to the top of the table, after being briefly unseated by Liverpool’s win over Newcastle. There’s just one point in it, and this title race is set to go right to the wire.

At the other end of the table, Leeds drop to 17th on goal difference after this loss is coupled with Burnley’s late win over Watford. They’re still five points ahead of 18th-placed Everton, but Leeds’s leaky defence and worrying attack may see them slip further before the season’s end.
