Leeds Stun Manchester United

In a major blow to Manchester United's Champions League hopes, Leeds United triumphed in a heated Roses rivalry match at Old Trafford.

Noah Okafor wrote himself into club folklore with two first-half goals, while the hosts were reduced to ten men after Lisandro Martinez was sent off for a violent hair-pull on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick slammed the referee's decision as 'absolutely shocking' as his side's home form faltered.

The win provides a vital lifeline for Leeds in their quest for Premier League survival, moving them six points clear of the relegation zone.
