Leeds United secured a historic 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking their first league win at the venue in 45 years. The result provides a significant boost to Leeds' survival hopes, moving them six points clear of the relegation zone.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke expressed pride in his team's performance, noting: "I feel tired, relieved, proud of the boys. We stuck to our plan. We missed so many chances. The red card changed something and we fell asleep at a set piece but the first league win here in over 40 years is amazing."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was involved in the incident leading to the red card, commented on the match: "It’s a massive result for us. We came here to win and we executed the game plan. I felt my hair get pulled and told the ref, and he made the decision."

The match turned decisively in the 57th minute when Manchester United's Lisandro Martínez was dismissed for pulling Calvert-Lewin's hair. Despite the disadvantage, Manchester United managed to pull a goal back through Casemiro in the 69th minute, creating a tense finish. However, Leeds held firm to secure the three points.

This defeat represents a low point for Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, whose side struggled significantly in the first half. Leeds United now look ahead to their remaining fixtures with renewed confidence as they aim to secure their Premier League status.
