Leeds analysis: Farke's men fighting but come up short

Leeds fans were buoyed by their team's bright start, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin could not provide the goal that would have raised the roof.

Players and supporters alike will have left pondering what could have been against the title challengers, but this is a familiar outcome: Leeds have now lost their past six Premier League games against Manchester City.

Brenden Aaronson poked wide from close range and James Justin had an effort smothered by Gianluigi Donnarumma in a flurry of first-half chances for the home team.

Substitute Jaka Bijol headed wide late on as Leeds searched for an equaliser, but a goal was to remain elusive.

Leeds could have put daylight between themselves and the bottom three after West Ham's defeat at Liverpool earlier on Saturday, but they remain six points outside the drop zone.
