United go third

That win - and the subsequent goal difference boost - has allowed us to leapfrog a clutch of teams, including Everton and Tottenham, and go into third. As you can see, we still have a game in hand on the teams around us, including Leicester, who we play on Boxing Day.

Daniel James
We did our jobs today

“We had a comfortable lead at half-time and second half it was just about doing exactly the same. We knew it was going to be a tough game and we did very well today. We all knew it would be one v ones all over the pitch, so it was about winning them and that’s what we did.”

Full Time
FT: United 6 Leeds 2

What a game! The Reds thrash our old rivals in an enthralling encounter, with McTominay and Fernandes both netting doubles and Lindelof and James also chipping in with goals. The four-goal margin of victory takes us above Everton on goal difference, into third spot, with a Boxing Day game against second-placed Leicester City to come next in the Premier League.

Scott comes off

A sad end to a brilliant afternoon for Scott McTominay. He's come off holding his groin, after another foray forward. Let's hope he's OK. Luke Shaw also trudged off down the tunnel after being substituted earlier - perhaps Ole will update us on the pair after the final whistle.

90 MINS

Attempt Missed
Harrison misses a sitter

Leeds really should have bagged another goal there but Harrison slotted wide, after Raphinha's low cross found him at the far post via two stepovers by Bamford and Rodrigo.

86 MINS

Attempt Saved
Meslier's a one-man barrier

Leeds' no.1 has just made three more stops, to keep out shots from the Brazilian duo Telles and Fred, and collect a header by Maguire. The scoreline could have been much, much crazier than the current 6-2.

85 MINS

Attempt Saved
Meslier makes a double save

The Leeds keeper thwarts Cavani with a great stop and then stops James from scoring on the rebound. Another fantastic attack from the Reds.
