Leeds United are back on the road this weekend and it doesn’t get much more difficult than Manchester City at the Etihad. Daniel Farke’s side have only won once away from home this season and will need something close to a miracle if they want to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone.
Miracles can happen in football, however, and Leeds fans heading to the Etihad on Sunday will hope for a repeat of their team’s incredible 2-1 win back in April 2021. Despite being down to 10-men for the entire second-half, Marcelo Bielsa’s side took all three points thanks to a 91st-minute Stuart Dallas winner on the counter-attack.
Unfortunately, there were no fans at the Etihad due to the Covid-19 pandemic but it remains a memorable day for all involved with Leeds who watched on from home. Those involved in the win have taken very different career paths since, from Ballon d’Or contention to the Chinese Super League - let’s take a look at where they all are now.

A late substitution to kill time. Remained a squad player either side of a Millwall loan spell in 2022/23, before joining Sheffield United in 2024 following the expiration of his contract. Has struggled with injury since moving to Bramall Lane, however, and played just 14 games across a season-and-a-bit. | Getty Images
15. Manager: Marcelo Bielsa
Masterminded the victory and a ninth-placed finish that season, but was sacked 10 months later amid relegation worries. Appointed as Uruguay head coach in May 2023 and set to lead the South American nation to his third World Cup in a third different continent next summer. | POOL/AFP via Getty Images
