An argument can be made either way.
Yoda based on disarming sidious/driving him back(with a potential enviromental edge)
Sidious based on being able to catch yoda off guard with his lightning

Yoda has intercepted Sidious trying to leave the room.

"If so powerful you are, why leave?"

Also, I believe Sidious was on the defensive the entire time. Plus he was disarmed.

I view Sidious landing a hit on Yoda as Yoda being caught off guard. Also, in the junior novelization Yoda tries to let Sidious's guard down.

A counter can also be said about Yoda landing a Force push on Sidious. Knowing Sidious he could've been prepared.

You could argue sidious being disarmed was due to the ifght being on the podium givne lucas and gillard's repeated suggestions that sidious is> yoda as a duelist. Then again the senior novel(which has the most favorable potrayal of the fight for sidious has yoda landing kicks on sidious)

Yoda force blasting sidious had nothing to do with speed,

Yoda. He moved twice as fast as Sidious in their duel and disarmed him in three blows, according to the junior novel, although some have questioned its validity.

That's RotS Sidious, of course. DE is another matter entirely.

Considering the movie is ridiculously more valid than the junior novel, that's just retarded.

The junior novel doesn't contradict the movie since that part was cut.

And there's the script though it could be argued it was cut due to lucas/gillards belief that sidiuous was the top duelist, something both said multiple times

Yoda didn't beat Sidious in three moves. -_-
Those were simply the last three moves he performed before Sheev got disarmed.

Anyways, RotS Sidious and Yoda are equals in speed. Later incarnation of Sidious are logically faster.

And when did Sidious move faster than Yoda in the movie?

Well, obviously he didn't since he was holding back. But at max speed, he did, so it's a valid thing to say.

In the movie, it appears as if Yoda moves faster than Sheev tbh.

I was saying going "IN TEH JUNIOR NOVEL YODA BEAT HIM IN THREE STRIKES" doesn't hold as evidence when Sidious has displayed in the movie that he can keep up for much more than three strikes.

Why would he hold back against the person who is responsible for the death of thousands of people Yoda knew since they were babies?

That makes absolutely no sense.
