Leeds Vs Man United Runs Fierce, Red Devils Win 4-2
JAKARTA - Two second-half goals from substitutes Fred and Anthony Elanga gave Manchester United a 4-2 win over Leeds United in a tense match at Elland Road, Sunday night western Indonesia time.
In a tense and intense match, the visitors took the lead in the 34th minute when captain Harry Maguire's header saw the Red Devils break the deadlock and mark United's first league goal from a corner this season.
As the rain deepened, United made the hosts more miserable when Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick in the game against Leeds earlier this season, netted the ball against Leeds in first-half extra time.
It looks like Leeds has to bury their dream of picking up points from this match. But they then revived their hopes when overcoming a two-goal deficit in less than a minute early in the second half.
Their success made Elland Road instantly get excited again.
Spanish forward Rodrigo's cross crossed United goalkeeper David de Gea's block to enter the net.
It wasn't long before Daniel James set up Leeds substitute Raphinha to equalize.

Leeds itself remains 15th or five points above the relegation zone.
