Diego Llorente hails Leeds United star and Whites traits after difficult Manchester City success

DIEGO Llorente hailed Leeds United's "solidarity, effort and sacrifice" after Saturday's incredible 2-1 success at Manchester City.

Spanish international centre-back Llorente came through his seventh full game in a row and proved a rock at the back as Marcelo Bielsa's Whites left the Etihad with a 2-1 victory despite playing over half the game with ten men.

United looked to be facing a mountainous task after captain Liam Cooper was sent off in first half stoppage time but Leeds dug in against Pep Guardiola's runaway leaders and even hit back with a 91st-minute winner from Stuart Dallas.
