Man City maintains the top position when pushing Leeds to face the risk of relegation

Rodri and Nathan Ake have scored important goalsYes, there were good arrangements in a day that Man City needed to confront the aggression of the home team before Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho sealed the victory at the end of the game.

Coach Guardiola had to prepare quite well for the trip to the semi-final second leg Champions League Midweek next week at Real Madrid when making 5 changes from the victory over the new La Liga champions with a score of 4-3 in the semi-final first leg this week.

Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez are among the players resting on the bench. Defender Joao Cancelo is also back after being suspended midweek.

Leeds plunged into fierce contests like fighting for survival, but that aggression was the main cause of their downfall after being conceded early in the 13th minute by Rodri. Coach Guardiola has struggled with many injuries in the defense with Kyle Walker likely to miss the rest of the season and John Stones is struggling with muscle problems. Center-back Ake also had to leave the field in the second half, but by that time, the Dutchman was said to have made the most significant contribution in nearly two seasons with Man City. Ake’s close-range goal sparked passionate celebrations on the bench of Man City.

Jesus then continued his scoring streak by neatly finishing Phil Foden’s cross to score his sixth goal in his last three games. And Fernandinho scored and helped Man City seal a 4-0 victory with a sweet goal in injury time.

This victory helps Guardiola’s students remain at the top of the table, more than Liverpool 1 point when both have 4 games left this season. “We’ve been in this position many times. It’s not pressure. We have to win all our games to become champions. Otherwise, Liverpool will win,” coach Guardiola emphasized.

Meanwhile, the defeat made Leed face the risk of relegation more clearly when he was only 6 points ahead of the “red light” area but played more than 2 matches.
