🔗 Share this article Cunha Strikes to Earn Man Utd a Point at Elland Road. Leeds United's Noah Okafor protects the ball from the opposition's Leny Yoro in the top-flight encounter at Elland Road. Key Moments Calvert-Lewin watches a first-half header ricochet off the upright. Brenden Aaronson fires the home side ahead with a well-placed strike in the second half. Matheus Cunha levels only three minutes later. The Yorkshire side extend their best top-flight undefeated streak since the turn of the century. Manchester United's poor run of form continued at Leeds' fortress, but manager Ruben Amorim had his Brazilian forward to thank for the team not suffering even more disappointment against Leeds. Dominic Calvert-Lewin directed a first-half attempt against the post for the confident home team before the American midfielder applied a cool finish with a low, 62nd-minute shot. At that stage, the United boss was in the firing line after his side had failed to beat bottom-of-the-table Wolves at Old Trafford earlier in the week. Nevertheless, against a team who had less time to recover, the forward levelled three minutes later when he ran on to a pass from introduced the Dutchman and slid a finish underneath advancing Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the Brazilian's fourth goal since his high-profile summer move and came at a time when the manager is without several key attacking players due to a combination of injury and international duty. Not that you would expect the hosts to sympathise with that given their own lack of preparation time. The Swiss attacker forced a full length save out of visiting goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and United heads were in hands when the Slovenian striker, who is struggling to make an impact, turned Zirkzee's cut-back wide from close range. The goalscorer, who had a goal disallowed for offside much earlier in the contest, also fired against a post in the dying moments. The point extends Leeds' unbeaten run to seven games, their longest such streak since 2001, and takes them a significant margin clear of the drop zone. For the Manchester United though, it was yet another opportunity to move into fourth spot, albeit only for a matter of hours, wasted. Man Utd Analysis: Amorim's Side Misfire Again With the AFCON reaching its latter stages, the United coach could be understood for hoping the participating nations make a pretty quick exit. Existing injuries to captain Bruno Fernandes and England international Mason Mount only exacerbated the impact the absence of other forwards is having on the team's options. It's not that the absent players are the solution to all of the club's problems. After all, they were part of the side that suffered poor results earlier in the campaign. But without them, the boss has few attacking options. He evidently does not trust youngster Shea Lacey or the much more experienced Joshua Zirkzee, even though the Netherlands forward provided the through ball for the equaliser almost immediately after his arrival as a replacement. That leaves Cunha, who has now scored a small tally in five games, and others operating out of their natural positions, alongside Sesko. On this evidence, the expensive frontman looks no better than previous underwhelming signings, lacking in confidence and assurance in front of goal. Sesko's failure to turn home the cross means it is now nine games without a goal for the new signing. Leeds Analysis: Another Step Towards Survival After thrilling victories in their last few home games, the arrival of their biggest rivals to home was a comparatively subdued affair. True, there were instances of expected atmosphere, but the intimidating edge was not as evident as in other encounters. Leeds' fans were more preoccupied about their side's inability to get worthwhile possession in advanced areas for any prolonged period. The striker's header that clipped the post was an isolated moment of quality in a tight first half. It still felt as though Leeds were finding it tough when a mistake opened the door for Aaronson. For a short moment, Leeds' delirious fans thought they were about to secure a rare win against their old foes. Nevertheless, there is a wider context for Daniel Farke and Leeds to deal with. When they suffered a poor run of form earlier in the campaign, many speculated about the manager's future. In contrast, he is now overseeing significant progress. The task is not completed yet but gradually, the team are getting nearer to achieving their survival. Looking Ahead Leeds have a top-flight trip to Newcastle in midweek, followed by the start of their FA Cup campaign next weekend. The Red Devils face a Premier League trip to Turf Moor before also entering their FA Cup journey with a Old Trafford tie.
