Pep Guardiola\u2019s men were brutal against Marco Bielsa\u2019s Leeds. There were 6 different scorers for City in their massive 7-0 victory on Tuesday. Leeds United didn\u2019t even score a single goal against the league leaders.\u00a0 Just 13 minutes into the game and Man City was 2-0 up. English midfielder Phil Foden scored the first one in the 8th minute before City\u2019s record signing Jack Grealish heads another one in the goal. Riyad Mahrez gave a sweet cross inside the box and unmarked England\u2019s star midfielder Jack Grealish doubles the lead with his heading goal.<\/p>\n<p>After such a dominant performance in the first half, City found another goal in the 32nd minute as their star man Kevin De Bruyne added his name on the scoresheet with his wonderful strike and makes it 3-0 for the home side. The second half was completely action-packed as City didn\u2019t take too long to score their 4th goal. City\u2019s fourth goal was scored by the fourth scorer in the match named Riyad Mahrez who cuts inside and took a shot from 20-yard.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FULL TIME | Seventh heaven! \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd35 7-0 \u26aa\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ManCity?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ManCity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2DWb0ICXJC\">pic.twitter.com\/2DWb0ICXJC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCity\/status\/1470874468981657610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City also completed their 500 goals tally under Pep Guardiola\u2019s managing in just 207 games beating Jurgen Klopp who took 234 games to do so with Liverpool FC. Pep Guardiola\u2019s men were so good that it always seemed that they would score more goals and they did. They found their 5th goal in the 62nd minute when De Bruyne pulled off a 25-yard strike and it was no doubt an amazing goal by the Belgian. Manchester City\u2019s defenders also named themselves on the scoresheet as John Stones and Nathan Ake further extended their lead and they scored the 6th and 7th goals in the 74th minute and 78th minute respectively. The defending champions completely dominated this game as they didn\u2019t let Leeds United score a single goal in this match.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Goal no. 5\ufe0f\u20e30\ufe0f\u20e30\ufe0f\u20e3 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@premierleague<\/a> under <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PepTeam?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PepTeam<\/a>! \ud83d\ude4c<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ManCity?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ManCity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0eiQj2B7fs\">pic.twitter.com\/0eiQj2B7fs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCity\/status\/1470908197296824327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola\u2019s men were brutal against Leeds United on Tuesday night as they scored 7 goals without a reply from the visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":33549,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1877,2510,1126,1939,1142,220,359],"class_list":["post-11073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-jack-grealish","tag-john-stones","tag-jurgen-klopp","tag-kevin-de-bruyne","tag-leeds-united","tag-manchester-city-f-c","tag-pep-guardiola"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
