The outsiders of the English Premier League won their first victory after the arrival of the new owner of the team, which we have already announced. Markas Viduka scored a penalty from the penalty spot in the 76th minute and showed a great start to the new owner Gerald Krasneris. The new owners set the club's goal of remaining in the top league.
Briefly about the course of the match. In the 10th minute, M. Viduka collapsed in the penalty area after being knocked down by defender R. Dunne, but the referee remained silent. The first goal came in the 23rd minute when Stephen McPhail scored. He scored a free kick when the goalkeeper clumsily deflected the ball into his own net. Later, M. Tarnat's free kick, thanks to the ricochet, went a few centimeters past the "Leeds" goal. A few seconds before the break, N. Anelka evened the score. The second half started with "Man city" pressure. Several shots from close range narrowly missed the mark. In the 74th minute, "Man city" player Daniel van Buyten was removed from the field. In the 76th minute, A.Smith was knocked down in the penalty area and M.Viduka realized the penalty awarded by the referee.
After this victory, "Leeds" rose to 17th place, while "Man city" remained in 16th place.
