The game
The torrential rain that fell on the field did not prevent Manchester United from fully imposing their game in the first part of the Eland Road game against Leeds, which was rewarded with two goals.
The first came in the 34th minute when the Red Devils took a corner kick for the first time in the Premier League this season, with Maguire taking the lead to make it 1-0 after a Shaw shot and a misplaced exit from Messier.
That goal gave psychology to the guests and in the delays of the first part they “hit” again, with Lindelof impressively bringing his team forward and paving the way for Sancho, who headed a sweet cross from the right side to the height of a small area Bruno Fernandes.
Despite the tremendous landing, Leeds didn’t throw in a clean towel and equalized within 57 seconds of the second half, causing a frenzy of excitement among their fans.
The 2-1 came in the 53rd minute with an amazing cross shot from the left at Rodrigo, while it made it 2-2 in the 54th minute when James turned from the left and Rafinia was thrown level with the small area, around to put the ball in the net.
The emotions didn’t stop there, however, as Manchester United regrouped and found a path to victory, scoring twice more on the home side. It started in the 70′ when Sancho fed on Fred, who had been substituted a few minutes earlier, and the Brazilian executed Messier with a powerful left-footed shot to make it 3-2.
The icing on the cake came in the 88th minute when, after a masterful dribbling by Fernandez, the ball reached Elanga, who entered the area and sent the opposing keeper with a perfect shot to make it 4-2 in awe of the excursion Fans to write The Red Devils.
