Leeds Stun Manchester United at Old Trafford, Boosting Survival Hopes
In a thrilling encounter, Leeds United took a significant step towards Premier League survival with a 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, ending a 40-year wait for a league win at the venue. Michael Carrick suffered his first home defeat as manager, while Leeds moved six points clear of Tottenham with six games remaining. Noah Okafor scored twice in the first half, and despite a late rally from the hosts, who had Lisandro Martinez sent off, Leeds held on for a crucial win. The victory marked a major boost to their survival bid, with Wolves and Burnley set to visit Elland Road in the coming weeks. Manchester United's problems worsened after Martinez's red card, which was given for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's hair, and they were unable to recover despite a grandstand finish. The win moves Leeds closer to safety, while Manchester United missed the chance to solidify their grip on third place.
