Leeds

Manchester United 1-2 Leeds United Casemiro (69′)    Okafor (5′ , 29′) A ruthless first-half performance boosted Leeds United’s survival hopes against 10-man Manchester United.  Noah Okafor was the hero for Daniel Farke, sending the visitors into an early lead after sidefooting Jayden Bogle’s cross past Senne Lammens in the 5th minute. The second arrived on the half-hour mark. A right-footed volley deflected past a helpless Lammens to send the away allocation into frenzy. Michael Carrick’s impact at Old Trafford has been evident since his interim appointment in mid-January. But his side were not at the races for large spells of the first half. Matters were made worse ten minutes into the second period, after Lisandro Martinez pulled Dominic Calvert-Lewin to the floor by his hair. Paul Tierney decided to send off the Argentinian after a lengthy VAR wait. United rallied for the final half hour. A trademark Bruno Fernandes cross was bulleted into the net by Casemiro to offer a glimpse of hope for the European hopefuls. Leeds edged out the game, and a valuable three points move them six clear of the relegation spots. For United, their positive momentum was halted with defeat, but Carrick’s side remains in pole position to secure Champions League football next season with six to play.
