Man United 1-1 Leeds: Cunha cancels out Aaronson’s opener as United miss another chance to move into top four | OneFootball

Leeds United played out a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides had periods of possession early on in the first half, but failed to create any clear chances.

Leeds eventually found an opening in the 34th minute, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin glancing a header beyond Senne Lammens, only to be denied by the post.

United ended the first half on the front foot, creating two good chances.

Lucas Perri tipped Leny Yoro’s flicked header over the crossbar. Moments later, Patrick Dorgu dragged his effort wide after a well-worked team move.

The second half began with both sides showing more attacking intent.

Gabriel Gudmundsson forced Senne Lammens to make a low save and moments later, Manuel Ugarte’s shot went wide.

The hosts drew the first blood as Brenden Aaronson took advantage of Ayden Heaven’s bad defending, before smashing the ball past Lammens.

Three minutes later, Matheus Cunha levelled the scores, sliding the ball beyond the goalkeeper after receiving a through ball from substitute Joshua Zirkzee.

Noah Okafor almost restored the Whites lead with a spectacular overhead kick but Lammens was equal to the task.

At the other end of the pitch, Benjamin Sesko squandered a big chance, dragging his effort from close range wide, following Zirkzee’s cutback.

With the draw, United missed another chance to climb into the top four and remain two points behind Liverpool, who face Fulham later.
