We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Man City and Leeds.

Here are some of your comments:

Man City fans

Gene: After scoring early and many missed opportunities, the complacency set in and then extended to the second half. This is the issue with this team - they get too comfortable passing the ball around without any sense of urgency to add to the advantage. The quality of players on this team should never put themselves in these common situations of fighting for a win in the waning moments.

Freddie: City were great in the first half, but after a change of tactics in the second half, we looked shaky and Leeds scored two. Great late winner from Phil Foden and he was amazing. Pleased to get the three points and keep Arsenal within reach. move on to Fulham on Tuesday.

Selim: Manchester City really had to dig themselves out of a hole with Foden rescuing the points. Just what happened to Haaland is a puzzle but I suspect he only relishes being the centre of attention. He wasn't on Saturday.

Martin: City were way too unconvincing. Dominant in the first half and should have been out of sight. However, Leeds changed things at half time and City started to implode. Leeds were by far the more threatening team. Only a moment of brilliance from the excellent Foden saved the day and broke Leeds' hearts. Haaland was anonymous but received little to no service.

Leeds fans

Steve: Shocking first half. A good tactical change at half-time, but why didn't Farke set us up like that for the off? City play exactly the same way every match - we should have planned to start the way we did in the second half.

Philip: This shows if we go down we go down fighting and we go down together.

Mark: Clearly a better second half than first. We learned how to keep Haaland quiet. The manager appears to have listened with team selection and earlier intervention with subs. Calvert-Lewin can score goals. There was real fight and effort and I appreciate that a lot. Didn't expect anything, got no points, but learned a lot.

Zach: Great performance, especially the second half. The lads showed fighting spirit and togetherness, and that's exactly what we need. Another game where we've more than matched our opponents. Farke deserves a lot of credit for that second half - he was bold and nearly got something from it. Hope our luck will turn soon and we starting getting the points we deserve.
