Match Report
In a stunning upset at Old Trafford, Leeds United ended a 45-year wait for a win on this ground, beating Manchester United 2-1 to complete one of the most memorable away results of the Premier League season.
Noah Okafor was the architect of the victory, netting a brace inside the opening half-hour — slotting home in the 5th minute before converting again on 29, with Brenden Aaronson providing the assist for the second. United's night darkened further when Lisandro Martínez was shown a straight red card following a VAR review on 56 minutes. Casemiro gave the home faithful a lifeline with a header on 69 minutes, but Leeds kept their nerve.
The defeat leaves Manchester United nine points off the Champions League places with six games remaining, all but ending their European hopes. For Leeds, the three points push them four points clear of the drop zone — a precious cushion as the season enters its final stretch.
