Leeds stun Manchester United after Okafor double and Martínez red card for hair-pull

Leeds claimed a precious victory that takes them six points clear of Tottenham whose plight darkens further after Daniel Farke’s men pulled off a first league win at Old Trafford since February 1981 and in the process inflicted a first home defeat for Michael Carrick as Manchester United interim manager.

His team lacked control throughout, a state not aided by Lisandro Martínez’s silly 56th-minute red card for yanking Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s ponytail, and he is now suspended for three matches.
