How a double substitution turned Leeds' season around

Although Leeds saw a point snatched from their grasp when Foden scored a stoppage‑time winner, the performance - and a new tactical blueprint - offered both the club and Farke a road to redemption.

Leeds bounced back from the defeat against Pep Guardiola's side by taking four points from a possible six against Chelsea and reigning champions Liverpool in the next two games.

"He was under real pressure, there was a lot of talk about his job - other managers were getting touted - and you felt if he lost against Manchester City he would lose his job," said ex-Liverpool and Spurs midfielder Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports.

"He didn't win that game but they changed the system that day, played with a lot of promise and since then they've gone on a great run and gone from strength to strength.

"The points they've produced since the start of December has been fantastic."

Since then, Leeds have lost only four out of a possible 19 league games - the ninth-best record in the division.

Consequently, Farke is on course to lead a team to Premier League survival for the first team in his career after failing to do so during his time in charge of Norwich.
