Leeds six clear after historic 2-1 at Manchester United with six to play | OneFootball

Leeds United took a major step towards Premier League safety with a historic 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday, moving six points clear with six games remaining.

Noah Okafor’s first-half brace proved decisive. Casemiro pulled one back midway through the second half and the hosts finished with 10 men as Daniel Farke’s side held firm. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, attention now turns to the run-in for Farke’s side and their rivals.

It was Leeds’ first league win at Old Trafford since 1981. The result leaves them within touching distance of their point-per-game target and a couple of results from reaching the 40-point mark.

Farke and his players will savour the night and the performance, but focus will quickly shift to what comes next.

The coming weeks are set out with the run-ins for Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea detailed.
