1 min Richardson cut in from the right and curled a left foot shot which Kasper Schmeichel managed to gather at the 2nd attempt

4 mins Simon Johnson shot
Leeds started off by playing a 4-3-3, but reverted to a 4-4-2 after about quarter of an hour.

22 mins 0-1 Bradley Wright Phillips scored after a ball was played wide of the defence and he lifted the ball over the advancing Coyles into the top left hand corner of the goal.

25 mins Richardson beat 2 men down the right and crosses across the 6yrd box. Rickets is too slow to react.

27 mins the tricky Bradley Wright Philips twisted and turned Kilgallon and took a snap shot which gave Coyles no chance 0-2

Agnew must have dished out a bollocking at half time, as Leeds came out with a bit more determination in the 2nd half.

47 mins Leeds forced a corner, Man City fail to clear McMasters corner and Joachim stabs the ball home from 6 yrds 1-2

62 mins Man City awarded a penalty, for what seemed like pushing in the box. Not sure whether Kilgallon was penalised for a push or was booked for argueing. It seemed like Rickets was holding onto the Man City no2 Sommeil. Anyway Bradley Wright Phillips hit the post from the penalty with Coyles going the other way.

65 mins B.Wright Phillips makes amends and scores from 25 yards with an opportunist shot, which Coyles only saw at the last minute.

70 mins saw the save of the match by Schmeichel from a shot from Simon Johnson

78 mins Leeds bring on 15 Winter for Joachim and 14 Keogh for Woods

80 mins the tall Man City no 9 Negouai scored a lovely goal when he curled a left foot shot from 20 yards score 1-4


Pick of a bad bunch was probabaly McMaster, who looked like he wanted the ball and wanted to do things with it.
