Leeds United secured a 4-0 win over Bristol City, with goals from Ao Tanaka, Wilfried Gnonto, and a brace from Largie Ramazani. Despite the convincing scoreline, the match highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities in Bristol City’s zonal marking system.
Former Bristol City midfielder Gary Owers criticized the team’s defensive strategy, pointing out that Leeds’ goal came when Tanaka was left unmarked at the back post. Owers emphasized the need for the team to tighten up and address these weaknesses.
Meanwhile, Leeds manager Daniel Farke’s tactics were on display, as his team dominated the match and created numerous chances. Despite reports suggesting Farke might face the sack, the win showcased his ability to adapt and get the best out of his team.
The victory will boost Farke’s confidence ahead of the Premier League season, and fans are likely to rally behind him. The success of Leeds United under Farke’s leadership makes a strong case for him to continue as manager, rather than bringing in a new coach like Jose Mourinho.
