Manchester United vs Leeds United, Premier League 2025-26 highlights: Okafor's brace hands Leeds their first Premier League win at Old Trafford by 2-1

Huge win for Leeds United. This is their first-ever Premier League win at Old Trafford.

They are now six points above the relegation zone. Daniel Farke was on his knees as this was the first win against United for them in 24 years. 

First away win for Leeds in 13 games and their first win this season in seven Premier League games.

United did try to make a comeback with the goal from Casemiro, but it was Noah Okafor's two goals in the first half that gave the visitors full points.

Leeds had more changes with United down to 10 men, but they could not cash in to seal the game earlier. 

Carrick has now faced his first home defeat as Manchester United coach.

Another huge chance gone begging for Leeds.

Beautiful ball from Bogle and Calvert-Lewin just had to beat Lammens with the header. But, he jumped a bit early and went for the power, but just hit it straight to Lammens.

In: Gruev, Gnonto

Out: Okafor, Tanaka

Tanaka is down on the ground. 

Bryan Mbeumo and Diogo Dalot come on in place of Noussair Mazraoui and Amad.

From the second corner, Bruno Fernandes delivered a looping ball from right at the far post and Casemiro, who was unmakred, headed the ball for United's first of the night.

United win their second successive corner as Burno played a short corner to Cunha, whose curling shot was deflected.

This is now an end-to-end action.

In the counterattack, Bogle was nearly one-on-one against Lammens. But he took long to make the final move as United were able to make the recovery.

Cunha received a long, deep ball from Shaw, and he was able to get a left-footed shot from close range. Darlow did well to make the save.

Yellow card for Burno for dissent. 

Great work from Gudmundsson, as he quickly won the position from Mazraoui and then went past Ugarte easily to make a great run on the left. However, he missed the target as we went for the far post for a left-footed shot.

With the hour mark passed, Leeds fans are doing the Oles for every pass.

Justin took his chance with a long-range shot, which was deflected away for a corner by Yoro.

Lisandro Martinez gets a direct red card after the VAR review. 

Manchester United are down to 10 men now.

VAR check for a potential direct red card on Martinez for hair pulling of Calvert-Lewin.

Since his appointment, Michael Carrick's side have gone on to win seven points from losing positions in the Premier League, more than any other side.

But can they do it tonight?

Yellow card for Luke Shaw for a foul on Bogle.

A simple ball from their own half from Amad and Sesko made a good run to make it a chance.

Darlow came running in to make the save and Justin did the rest to make the goalline clearance. 

No changes from either managers.

Woos from the United fans as Carrick and team left for the tunnel. 

Leeds United have taken the chances they have had. Okafor drew the blood early and then made it 2-0 before Martinez made a goalline block to deny another Leeds goal. 

A few changes coming in the second half? Let's see. See you after the break.

Another chance for Leeds United to go 3-0 up. From the corner, Struijk stood high up in the air and was able to get the header as well.

However, it went straight to Lammens.

Mishap from United at the back as Tanaka won the ball inside the box. But as he went for the lob over Lammens, Martinez made a big slide to save the goal.

Although Bruno's delivery had earned United a corner, they wasted the buildup as Mazraoui went for a long range shot from midfield. 

Lobbed ball from Bogle, and Calvert-Lewin got to the ball with a flying header. However, he could control it as the ball went for a goalkick.

Yellow card for James Justin for a foul on Cunha. He felt he won the ball, but he went through the legs of the Brazilian and he becomes the first Leeds player tonight to get the caution.

The Brazilian went for the goal with a long-range shot from the edge of the box. Gudmundsson did well to be close to him.

The shot missed the target by a whisker as it went over the goal.

Another chance for Leeds as Calvert-Lewin won the free-kick on the edge of the box on the right. 

Okafor doubles the lead for the Whites.

They deserve the goal as United could not just get the ball away from the box, and Okafor, with a volley, assisted by a slight deflection from Yoro, scored the second goal. 

Top class from Okafor. He first made a great run on the left and played it across from Bogle on the right. He misfired his shot, and it fell well for Gudmundsson to score the goal.

However, he could not finish the job.

Again, United turned a long ball into a great attack.

Sesko played out to Amad to go for a goal from the edge of the box. However, the poor first touch wasted the chance.

Whenever they get the chance, Leeds are creating some chances.

From the corner, this time, Bijol has found himself free and went for the header. However, he missed the target.

Beautiful ball from Casemiro, who looked in pain just a few seconds ago. He found Amad on the right, who made a quick cutback. 

Althoough Gudmundsson gave him a yard of space, his left-footed attempt did not curl enough to be on target.

Great referring. Cunha gets the yellow card for a dive.

Amad with a great through ball from the middle for Sesko to make a run and make it one-on-one.

However, Sesko did not look that confident or fast as Justin was able to get a touch to his timid shot.

Bruno sends a big looping ball from midfield for Mazraoui to recieve. 

Mazraoui did well to get to the ball. However, soon, it was deflected away for a corner.

There was a check to see whether Yoro was fouled or not while Calvert-Lewin went for the header.

But, no foul is given and the goal stays.

Leeds draws the early blood.

Simple move from Leeds. They play the ball wide and Bogle with the big cross from the right. 

Calvert-Lewin went for the header but missed it. However, Okafor was there at the centre of the goal to side-foot the ball inside the goal for the first goal.

Huge save early in the game from Lammens. 

Great chance for Leeds. Top-class cross from Gudmundsson from the left. Calvert-Lewin with the sliding effort from the center of the goal hit it straight at the goalkeeper.
