Manchester City must break the bad habit of losing leads to stay in title hunt
- City won a toe-to-toe battle at home as Phil Foden scored a late winner to seal the win over Leeds United.
- The win keeps City in the title hunt but exposes a pattern of losing leads after taking the initiative this season.
- City's second-half tempo dropped, turning possession and control into a vulnerability against Leeds.
- City previously led in several matches only to concede late goals, widening concerns about 90-minute consistency.
- Guardiola’s side showed resilience, tightening out stoppage time to secure the win.
- City’s possession share dropped to 33.2 percent, the lowest under Guardiola in top-flight English football.
- Leeds pushed back late, with chances created by Matheus Nunes’ turnover and a Gvardiol misstep.
- Leeds had momentum after the first goal with a notable resurgence in the second half.
- City faced multiple costly errors by Gvardiol that contributed to Leeds’ threat.
- City’s early goal in the 9th minute was cancelled out late by Arsenal’s Martinelli in a separate match context but cited as part of the pattern against late equalizers.
