Manchester United vs Leeds LIVE
Manchester United lost ground in the race for Europe as Noah Okafor’s brace gave Leeds a 2-1 win at Old Trafford. He struck twice before the break to give the visitors a deserved lead over a woeful United, and it was a surprise to see Michael Carrick opt against making changes at half. Leeds, though, continued their impressive performance after the break, keeping their cool to deliver a first victory at the Theater of Dreams for quite some time.
Casemiro’s second-half header ultimately proved a mere consolation despite a frenetic second-half delivering plentiful chances for both sides. The hosts’ attempts at a comeback were made all the more complicated, though, as Lisandro Martinez was sent off for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair following a VAR intervention.
The win sees Daniel Farke’s side pull six points clear of relegation-threatened Tottenham, making Roberto De Zerbi’s rescue mission that much more unlikely after he lost his captain Cristian Romero to injury this weekend.
