Manchester United recovered from a 2-0 deficit to grab a share of the spoils, on a night where football was the winner. Both teams went at it, hammer and tong until the final whistle; taking it in turn to terrorise each others defence in a exhilarating display far beyond Leeds Premier League standing.

Leeds made their intentions known straight from kick off. Fernandes and Adams were having a tussle in midfield, allowing Struijk to gain possession and pick out Gnonto in the opponents third. Swarmed by a sea of red, the plucky Italian played a one - two with Bamford, allowing him just enough time and space to line up an effort from the edge of the 'D', unleashing a rasping shot which beat David de Gea at his near post.

Still Shell shocked, Leeds could have doubled their lead on 11 minutes, but Struijk's far post header bought a superb reflex save from de Gea. Unbeaten in the previous 13 games, the hosts fired back with efforts of their own. Sabitzer and Fernandez both had efforts thwarted, but it was Garnacho who went closest on the half hour mark.

The Argentinian latched on to Martinez' through ball, leaving Ayling trailing in his midst. He rounded the onrushing Meslier forcing him wide, allowing Ayling time to play catch up. Unfortunately the Leeds right back slips, giving Garnacho the space to to turn and fire into an empty net, only for Wober to save the day with a headed goal line clearance.

Leeds doubled their lead on 48 minutes. Koch picks up the ball in midfield, and plays a diagonal ball to Gnonto on the edge of the penalty area. He takes a touch before laying the ball off to Summerville, who cuts it back across the penalty area. With Bamford primed and ready for his third of the season, Varane panics, and turns the ball into his own net.

The hosts hit back on the hour mark, when Marcus Rashford out jumped Koch, and headed past the despairing dive of Meslier. They added their second 10 minutes later, when Sancho's speculative effort somehow went through the body of the Frenchman.
