  • Fulltime!!! Manchester United win their 6th away game of the Premier League season, as many as their total last season.
  • Weghorst thought he made it three, but the linesman and subsequently VAR cut his celebration short.
  • Goallll number two. Garnacho scores. Manchester United are two up
  • Goal Marcus Rashford scores again. Erik ten Hag decision to move Luke Shaw back to left-back paying off as he got the assist.
  • Ayling attempts a less-than-stellar over-head kick, which David de Gea comfortably saves.

Dalot! What a strike! It crashed the woodwork. The substitutions are starting to pay off for Manchester United, with Garnaho heavily involved in the goal.

  • Manchester United make substitutions of their own, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho come on for Sancho and Malacia.
  • The first substitution of the game Patrick Bamford comes off for new signing Georginio Rutter.
  • Leeds already have four attempts this second-half to Manchester United's zero.
  • Leeds are starting the second-half with so much purpose and fervor, making attempt after attempt on David de Gea's goal.
  • Second-half is underway
  • The big Dutchman had a rather quiet first-half.
  • Boring Boring Man United
Harry Maguire when Summerville thought he put Leeds ahead

  • Halftime!!!
  • Bruno Fernandes pounces on a lose ball and was close to scoring, but Meslier denied him his 100th league goal.
  • Bruno Fernandes complains about everything.
  • Leeds go close to scoring again. Manchester United are living dangerously here. Milestone man David de Gea and Captain Maguire combined to keep the game scoreless.
  • Yellow carddddd. 2-1 Leeds, Weston McKenie puts the Peacocks ahead on the referee's naughty list. If they continue to remain goalless we would count scores some other way. 
  • Harry Maguire was Maguire and Maldini in the space of 30 seconds. Carelessly gives the ball away, only to recover properly an win the ball back.
  • Luke Ayling moving like Lord Varys's spies. He was genuinely trying to eavesdrop on Erik ten Hag's instructions.
  • While the game remains goalless we would keep a score line of the yellow cards. 1-1 now, Fred equalised for Manchester United after a blatant hack on Summerville.
  • Junior Firpo gets the first yellow card of the game for a poorly timed tackle on Jadon Sancho. When you remember Firpo, Emerson, and Nelson Semedo were Barcelona fullbacks at some point.
  • Leeds nearly went ahead, but thanks to a tackle by Malacia on young Summerville, the game remains goalless. Leeds are dominating these early exchanges.
  • 400 Premier League appearances for David de Gea!!! Congratulations to Dave Saves.
