đŸ”— Share this article Cunha Strikes to Secure Man Utd a Share of the Spoils at Elland Road. The home side's Noah Okafor shields the ball from the opposition's a defender in the top-flight clash at Elland Road. Match Summary Calvert-Lewin watches a first-half header come back off the upright. Aaronson fires the hosts ahead with a well-placed finish in the second half. Matheus Cunha levels only three minutes afterwards. The Yorkshire side extend their best top-flight undefeated streak since 2001. Manchester United's disappointing recent struggles persisted at Elland Road, but manager the Portuguese tactician had Matheus Cunha to thank for his side not suffering even more disappointment against their old rivals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed a first-half attempt against the woodwork for the in-form home team before the American midfielder applied a cool finish with a driven, 62nd-minute shot. At that stage, Amorim was in the firing line after his side had failed to beat bottom-of-the-table Wolves at home earlier in the week. Nevertheless, against a team who had less time to recover, the forward levelled three minutes later when he latched onto a through ball from introduced the Dutchman and guided a shot underneath advancing home goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the Brazilian's fourth Premier League goal since his big-money summer move and came at a time when the manager is without several key attacking players due to a combination of fitness issues and international duty. Not that Leeds to sympathise with that given their own lack of preparation time. Noah Okafor forced a full length save out of Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and visiting heads were in hands when Benjamin Sesko, who is struggling to make an impact, turned his teammate's cut-back wide from six yards out. Cunha, who had a goal ruled out for offside much earlier in the match, also blasted against a post in the dying moments. The point prolongs the home side's unbeaten run to seven games, their longest such streak since over two decades ago, and takes them a significant margin clear of the relegation zone. For the Manchester United though, it was yet another opportunity to move into the Champions League places, albeit only for a matter of hours, squandered. Manchester United Breakdown: The Manager's Side Struggle Again With the AFCON reaching its latter stages, the United coach could be forgiven for hoping the participating nations make a pretty quick exit. Current injuries to captain Bruno Fernandes and England international Mason Mount only exacerbated the impact the unavailability of other forwards is having on the team's squad. It's not that the missing pair are the answer to all of the club's problems. After all, they were part of the side that suffered poor results earlier in the season. But without them, Amorim has few alternatives in attack. He evidently does not have full faith in youngster Shea Lacey or the seasoned Joshua Zirkzee, even though the Dutch forward provided the through ball for the equaliser almost instantly after his introduction as a replacement. That leaves Cunha, who has now scored a small tally in recent outings, and others playing out of their natural positions, alongside Benjamin Sesko. On this evidence, the big-money frontman looks similar to previous underwhelming signings, lacking in belief and conviction in front of goal. Sesko's failure to turn home the cross means it is now a long run without a goal for the young striker. Leeds Analysis: A Further Step Towards Safety After thrilling victories in their last few home games, the arrival of their biggest rivals to Elland Road was a bit drab affair. True, there were instances of typical fervor, but the hostile edge was not as evident as in previous fixtures. Leeds' fans were more preoccupied about their side's inability to get sustained possession in dangerous areas for any prolonged period. The striker's header that clipped the post was an rare moment of quality in a congested 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 the club to deal with. When they endured a difficult run of form earlier in the campaign, many speculated about the manager's future. In contrast, he is now overseeing clear progress. The task is not done yet but gradually, the team are getting closer to securing their survival. Looking Ahead Leeds have a Premier League trip to Newcastle in midweek, followed by the start of their FA Cup campaign next weekend. Manchester United face a Premier League trip to Burnley before also entering their cup journey with a home tie.
