Brilliant first half for Leeds and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who's scored both goals.
Calvert-Lewin is the first Leeds player to score in five successive Premier League games since Mark Viduka in August 2003.

The xG on Calvert-Lewin's goal last night was 0.9886, second highest of the season so far, just after Walker-Peters against Burnley which was 0.9889.
So, if you want to get easy sitters, time to hypenate your name.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal against Manchester City came just 3 minutes, 50 seconds after he came off the bench.
That's the fifth-quickest goal by a substitute in the Premier League this season.
