City s bid for a third Premier League title in four years remains on track, with Guardiola s side still 14 points clear at the top of the table, although second-placed Manchester United now have two games in hand.
However, this was an unnecessary setback, and a dent to the team s confidence ahead of their second-leg showdown with Dortmund on Tuesday night.
It certainly wouldn t have done much for Guardiola s faith in his forwards. City had 29 shots on goal and restricted Leeds to just two – yet they still lost the game. Guardiola will, thus, be praying that his side don t take such horrific inefficiency with them to Signal Iduna Park.

Premier League leaders Manchester City suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to ten-man Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Citizens ruffled the feathers from the win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League with Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Sergio Aguero dropped to the bench.
Surprisingly, it was the visiting side that had the first opportunity to go ahead earlier on from a ball in the area by Patrick Bamford, but he couldn’t take it in his stride and make the Citizens pay.
The breakthrough came three minutes from halftime as a low rasping strike inside the area from Stuart Dallas struck the foot of the post en-route to arrowing the net.
