'I didn't beat Pep Guardiola' - Gracious Bielsa admits it would've been 'fair' had Man City beat Leeds

Marcelo Bielsa felt that Leeds United's gutsy 2-1 win over Manchester City was well-deserved, but the Argentine admitted that it would have been a "just" result had Pep Guardiola's side run out victors at the Etihad Stadium.

The Blues were downed for only the fourth time across all competitions this season against their 10-men visitors from over the Pennines, as Stuart Dallas bagged a brace to hand the Whites their most famous scalp since their return to the Premier League.

While City clocked up a remarkable 29 shots throughout and saw 71 per cent of overall possession, Leeds converted their only two attempts of the game to seize the three points.
