Manchester City's lights no longer so blinding after Leeds stalemate

It was the fourth time since the start of last season the goalkeeper was debited with a mistake that led to a goal

After a match that left Pep Guardiola high-fiving Mike Dean with the grin of a man who had remembered why he loved football than lamenting the points that slipped through his grasp, the Manchester City manager was in no mood to play the blame game.

“In 12 years as manager I never say in the press conference that we lost because of this one and that one,” he said, when asked about the Ederson error that presented Leeds with their equaliser. It is not just Guardiola’s focus on the collective that meant he was magnanimous: Ederson also made fine saves from Luke Ayling, Stuart Dallas and the scorer Rodrigo.
