Leeds United Ends 45-Year Wait with Win at Man Utd
Leeds United ended a 45-year wait for a league win at Old Trafford, defeating Manchester United 2-1 in a Premier League match. Noah Okafor was the standout performer, scoring both goals in the first half.
The victory came after Lisandro Martinez was sent off in the 56th minute for a foul on Domin Calvert-Lewin. Leeds' win is significant as it is their first league victory against Manchester United since 2002, and their first win at Old Trafford since 1978.
The win lifts Leeds six points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining in the season. Casemiro scored a header for Manchester United in the 69th minute, but it was not enough to change the outcome.
Leeds will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on April 26. Michael Carrick, the interim manager for Manchester United, faced criticism as this marked his second defeat in 11 games since taking over.
