Leeds United secured a historic first Premier League victory over Manchester United with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford, inspired by a brace from Noah Okafor.
The Sweden international gave the visitors an early lead in the fifth minute with a sharp finish before doubling their advantage near the halfway mark with a well-taken volley.
Manchester United’s hopes suffered a major blow in the second half when Lisandro Martínez was sent off for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair, reducing the hosts to 10 men.
Casemiro pulled one back late, thanks to a cross from Bruno Fernández to set up a tense finish, but Leeds held firm under pressure to seal a vital win in their fight for Premier League survival.
The result also marked Michael Carrick’s first defeat as Manchester United manager, with his side remaining third in the table.
