Leeds Utd 0 Man Utd 2 LIVE RESULT: Rashford and Garnacho with two late goals to hand United valuable victory – reaction

Full time – Leeds 0-2 Man Utd

A late flourish from Manchester United sees them earn all three points in the Pennines Derby.

Goals in the final ten minutes from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho took the wind right out of the sails of a Leeds side that were competitive from the off, but lacking in cutting edge.

The result lifts United up to second in the table for the first time this season, but leaves managerless Leeds looking nervously over their shoulders at the bottom three immediately beneath them.

90+3. Wout Weghorst scores, but he too has his celebrations cut short by the offside flag.

This one isn’t exactly clearcut either with debate over who had flicked the ball in the striker’s direction from the corner.

Eventually, the header is deemed to be Harry Maguire’s rather than a Leeds’ defender, and the decision is upheld.

90+1. Marcus Rashford takes his leave after playing another crucial role.

Young Anthony Elanga will get a few minutes under his belt in his place.

90. Rashford has the ball in the back of the net again, but no sooner has the forward slammer a slow shot across Meslier, the flag went up for offside.

There wasn’t much in it, mind you, and it takes VAR a few moments to confirm the assistant referee’s decision as correct.

And it was another fine finish from a player really enjoying their football again.

There will be four minutes of stoppage time to be played.

89. Garnacho almost adds his second and United’s third.

Again the teenager gets away from the Leeds defence – this time on the right – but ultimately sees his shot blocked by Wober after checking back inside on to his left foot.

87. “Two-nil in your cup final…” sing the Manchester United supporters.

Meanwhile, Sam Greenwood has come on to replace Weston McKennie.

85. That’s the game wrapped up for Manchester United!

With the home side looking to commit men forward, the visitors win back possession and benefit from the burning pace of Alejandro Garnacho.

Wout Weghorst threads a pass through for the teenager, who accelerates beyond Robin Koch, and slams a shot beyond Illan Meslier that finds the net via the inside of the near post.

Three points in the bag!

84. Leeds look deflated, and instead it’s the visitors looking to kill this contest off.

82. It’s now the Manchester United fans making all the noise as the rest of Elland Road falls silent.

Can the home side pick themselves up for one last assault on the United goal?

80. Marcus Rashford does it again!

Now playing on the left, Luke Shaw gets down the flank and clips a cross over for Rashford, now playing through the middle, to header unchallenged into the far corner.

There’s a lengthy pause as VAR check on the goalscorer’s position for offside (and perhaps double check after the weekend the video officials have had), but eventually the green light is given, prompting the travelling fans to erupt once more.

Deadlock broken!

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

78. Almost from Summerville! Almost!

The youngster gets in behind on the right and fires across De Gea, who blocks with his foot.

77. Let’s be honest. This game was fun for a few moments early on, but it’s been really, really scrappy since.

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

75. Into the final 15 minutes, and the game is there to be won.

I suspect, however, that it won’t be.

74. The visitors follow suit with a change of their own.

Diogo Dalot has come the closest to breaking the deadlock so far, but the Portuguese defender is not going to see this game out.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka takes over at right-back.

73. Jack Harrison’s time at Elland Road may be coming to an end, but he gets a rapturous reception from the home fans as he is withdrawn here.

American Brenden Aaronson is on in is place.

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

72. In perhaps the worst 30 seconds of football played in the Premier League this season, both sides give the ball away on two separate occasions.

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

70. Luke Ayling has a history of scoring the spectacular against Manchester United.

The Leeds captain almost follows up the 30-yarder he pinged in at Old Trafford a couple of years ago with an audacious overhead kick here.

Unfortunately for those of a white rose persuasion, it was straight at De Gea.

69. A barnstorming run from Firpo takes him away from Rashford and through the challenge of Fred.

The left-back eventually slides in Summerville, who wins a corner when his cross is turned behind.

68. Rutter has shown some nice touches already, both in attack and when dropping deep to link play.

66. Gnonto almost does exactly that.

With a drop of the shoulder, the diminutive forward comes inside off the left flank and drills a shot straight into the midriff of De Gea.

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

65. The game has begun to open up at both ends.

It’s still frantic, still furious, but now there is plenty of space to exploit.

Leeds 0-0 Man Utd

63. United immediately look more of a threat.

Dalot finds himself in an advanced position on the right, but gets his cross in the direction of Weghorst all wrong.

Seconds later, the full-back has the ball again, and decides he’s not going to make the same mistake again.

This time the Portuguese defender takes aim with a fierce drive that crashes against the crossbar as Meslier looks on.

61. The first changes for Manchester United just after the hour mark.

Firstly, Lisandro Martinez is on for Tyrell Malacia, meaning Luke Shaw will revert to his custom left-back position.

Also on is Alejandro Garnacho, who replaces Jadon Sancho on his return to the starting line-up.
