The league leaders, the champions were absolutely irresistible as they outclassed Leeds who have suffered a record Premier League defeat. City pressed, they passed and penetrated Leeds as they enjoyed their biggest win of the season. Leeds simply had no answer.

Kevin de Bruyne had nine shots in that game!

Leeds drop to 16th with that defeat. As their goal difference falls from -8 to -15 they drop below Southampton (-10).

A good time to plug that you can rate the players by clicking here.

It's all over. An absolutely sensational demolition job from Manchester City sends them four points clear at the top.

Six games in for Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa manager and he's picked up 12 points with wins against Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Norwich with the two losses against the current top two - Manchester City and Liverpool.

It's Burnley at home for Villa on Saturday.

Norwich, without a win in five, play at fourth-placed West Ham on Saturday.

Riyad Mahrez turns a defender one way and then the other but his rising shot sails over the bar.

Paul: We (Leeds United) just have to hope there are three worse teams than us this season.

Dan: It can be so demoralising being a fan of one of the ‘other’ clubs in the Premier League. We’ve got plenty of injuries but it hurts a lot losing like this.

This would be Leeds' joint biggest top-flight defeat, level with 8-1 at Stoke on 27 August 1934.

Just three minutes added on.

Ilkay Gundogan runs onto a ball over the top but his half-volley lacks power and Illan Meslier falls onto it.

Marcelo Bielsa has seen his side concede seven goals for the first time. This is the 568th game of his club managerial career.

Kevin de Bruyne wants his first hat-trick for Manchester City but his free-kick is a simple stop for Illan Meslier.

Leeds break and Mateusz Klich fires a shot over from long range.

This is City's second Premier League match under Pep Guardiola in which they scored seven goals. They beat Watford 8-0 on 21 September 2019.

Kerlastyl: I don't understand how anyone has the audacity to watch this city side and claim any other premier League team has ever been better, ever...they just haven't.

Will: Be a shame if Bielsa lost his job after this. A great manager who's team is very unlucky with injuries.

Kevin: Watching ManCity/Leeds game. Man City is playing well but what I see that Leeds Players are not trying hard and they are not organised at the back. Leeds players are to blame for the debacle and not the keeper.

Colin: Could any team live with this Man City onslaught!? Awesome football.

Neil: Leeds are a perfect example this season of when a manager overstays by a year. Bielsa should've left in the summer. Leeds are a mess.

Mateusz Klich fouls Fernandinho, free-kick to City 25 yards out. Kevin de Bruyne is interested.

Jack Harrison shoots from outside the box, simple save for Ederson.

Seven goals and my Manchester City player in fantasy football got one point today (Bernardo Silva). 🤦‍♂️

I know a lot of people hate expected goals, but it's interesting to see the xG today is 2.04-0.17.

That means for the chances City have they'd only be expected to score two goals. I'm not sure about that.

Anyway Phil Foden hammers one over the bar.

In 17 games, bottom-placed Norwich have scored eight goals and conceded 34. They're level on points with Newcastle, who have played one game less.

Dean Smith is going to have to work wonders to keep this Norwich side in the top flight.
