LEEDS END OLD TRAFFORD HOODOO WITH BIG WIN.
Leeds United produced a statement performance to beat Manchester United 2-1 at
Old Trafford, securing their first league win at the ground in 45 years.
Noah Okafor fired Leeds ahead with a composed finish before doubling the lead with
a deflected strike to cap a dominant first half.
United responded late through Casemiro, who converted Bruno Fernandes’ delivery,
but their hopes were dented when Lisandro Martinez was sent off.
A late surge from the hosts fell short, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin producing a vital
goal-line clearance to help Leeds hold on for a crucial victory.
The result lifts Leeds further clear of danger, while United misses the chance to
strengthen their top-five position.
