Leeds stun Manchester United

A brace from Noah Okafor has given Leeds United a vital lifeline in their battle for Premier League survival.

The victory came as 10-man Manchester United struggled following the dismissal of Lisandro Martínez for pulling the hair of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

United interim manager Michael Carrick slammed the decision as 'absolutely shocking,' while Roy Keane urged the coach to 'suck it up.' The result leaves Leeds six points clear of the relegation zone and deals a significant blow to United's Champions League aspirations.
