"Matheus Cunha salvaged a point for Ruben Amorim's side at Elland Road, cancelling out Brenden Aaronson's opener just after the hour. United had the ball in the back of the net eight minutes in as Cunha volleyed in Casemiro's nod down, but the offside flag was already up. Dominic Calvert-Lewin then struck the post in Leeds' best first-half chance, with his diving header across goal clipping the far post."
"Daniel Farke's side started the second half strongly and were rewarded for that in the 62nd minute as Aaronson coolly slotted into the bottom-right corner after latching onto Pascal Struijk's throughball. But Amorim brought on Joshua Zirkzee immediately after, and he slid the ball into the box to set up Cunha's equaliser, with the Brazilian sliding in to guide it past Lucas Perri."
"Data Debrief: Leeds' march away from danger continues Leeds are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games (W2 D5), earning as many points over that period (11) as their opening 13 matches of the 2025-26 campaign (W3 D2 L8). In fact, it is their longest run without defeat in the top-flight since May and November 2001 under David O'Leary (13 games - W8 D5)."
Manchester United and Leeds United played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road. Brenden Aaronson put Leeds ahead in the 62nd minute after latching onto Pascal Struijk's throughball. Ruben Amorim's side responded quickly when Joshua Zirkzee set up Matheus Cunha for an equaliser. United had an early disallowed goal from Cunha for offside and dominated expected-goal metrics, registering 1.46 xG to Leeds' 0.92 while managing only two shots on target from 15 attempts. Leeds remain unbeaten in seven Premier League games, marking their best top-flight run since 2001.
