In a thrilling encounter, Leeds United took a significant step towards securing their Premier League status by defeating Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford, with Michael Carrick suffering his first home defeat as manager. Noah Okafor's first-half brace set Leeds on their way to a first league win at the venue since 1981, while Manchester United's woes deepened after the break when Lisandro Martinez received a red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's hair. Although Casemiro's header gave the 10-man team hope of a comeback, Leeds managed to hold on, with Daniel Farke's side moving six points clear of Tottenham with six games remaining. The win marks a significant boost to Leeds' survival bid, with Wolves and Burnley still to visit Elland Road.
