In a stunning upset that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, Manchester United faltered at home against Leeds United, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat in the historic 100th 'Roses Derby'. The Red Devils, missing key players and fielding a less-than-optimal lineup, struggled to contain a determined Leeds side fighting for survival.

Leeds' Moah Okafor proved to be the tormentor, netting a brace that put the visitors in a commanding position. Manchester United's defensive frailties were exposed, and a crucial red card for Lisandro Martinez further hampered their efforts.
