Leeds United drew 1-1 with Manchester United, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring six minutes into the second half.

Leeds United drew 1-1 with Manchester United on Sunday, a match many had expected the home side to win. Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised six minutes after half-time to level the score. The striker told Sky Sports: 'I think we could have played with a little bit more quality in the final third, particularly in the first half. We were getting good quality into the box but just not getting enough numbers.'

Leeds finished with a higher expected goals tally than Manchester United but only five of their twelve shots were on target. Five attempts went wide from inside the area, four of those from within the six yard box. Calvert-Lewin said the players had been aware of pre-match talk suggesting they were favourites but had steered clear of it.

Manager Daniel Farke said his side's finishing was his only critique of the performance. He acknowledged that the sense of occasion may have contributed to first-half losses of possession through over-eagerness, but attributed the failure to win more to differences in individual quality between the two squads.
