Manchester City, issue a ruthless reminder of title credentials as champions to claim a seventh successive win and move four points clear at the top of the Premier League.
City were two up inside 13 minutes after Phil Foden’s opener – the 500th Premier League goal of Pep Guardiola’s City reign – found the net after Stuart Dallas’ woeful goal-line clearance attempt, before Jack Grealish added quickfire second with his maiden Premier League header.
Leeds depleted defensive line and questionable tactics continued to be put to the sword as Kevin De Bruyne, on his first league start since November 6, sealed a masterful first-half display with an unerring third just after the half-hour.
Leeds were humiliated, which left concerns with Leeds United supporters, is how bewildered their manager was afterwards.
What pleased Guardiola most was a resurgent Kevin De Bruyne, who scored twice, plus the sparkling performances of Jack Grealish.
