Reactions As Leeds Owner Likes a Tweet Saying They Can’t Beat Man City

• Manchester City beat Leeds United at Elland Road in their first post-World Cup league match
• Erling Haaland, who was born in Leeds in 2001, scored twice as the Whites were taken down
• Club fans blasted Andrea Radrizzani for liking a tweet saying they were not expected to win

Pep Guardiola led his Manchester City side to dispatch Leeds United at Elland Road, in their first Premier League game back after the 2022 World Cup.

Spanish midfielder Rodri opened the scoring in the added minutes of the first half, before Erling Haaland - who was born in Leeds - scored twice in the early minutes of the second half.

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is in trouble with the Yorkshire club's fans, after he liked a tweet saying the club were not supposed to beat the English champions.

Radrizzani is active on Twitter, occasionally expressing his views after matches, but he crossed the line for the tweet he liked after their 3-1 loss.

"@andrearadri what about Brentford? A team who got promoted after us who have made so much more progress due to a having a sound strategic plan??"

@Lufcburny tweeted:

"That's the spirit @andrearadri why don't you just pack up and do one. Side before self, your time is done. Regardless of who we play every game and every result matters you really need to stay off twitter when we've played."

@CarlyUK said:

"The fact @andrearadri liked this tweet speaks volumes about the clubs mentality and ambitions #LUFC"

@tybilly1 added:

"Radz leaving behind a bad smell before shutting the boardroom door on his Leeds Utd tenure. Shame, he was very nearly a hero but his lack of ambition let the fans and himself down. Adios."

@tobtipp said:

"'When routine bites hard and ambitions are low'...could be the coat of arms for. @andrearadri The fact he liked your inane tweet is just the kick in the teeth we've become accustomed to. #lufc will move on, hopefully, sometime, without the stench of abject surrender in the air."

Guardiola apologises for bottle incident

Sports Brief earlier reported that Guardiola apologised for kicking a bottle at the Leeds bench in the latter stages of the match.

The Spaniard reacted to his players conceding a free kick - with the score 3-1 at that moment - which was almost converted by Sam Greenwood.

Guardiola rushed over to offer his apologies to members of the Leeds backroom staff, who did not seem to take offence at the incident.
