Leeds surprised Manchester United at Old Tarford (1:2) in the final match of the 32nd round of the Premier League and took a huge step towards survival.

United's fight for a place in the Champions League, on the other hand, has been shaken up a bit, although the "devils" still share third place with Aston Villa, three points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool, who are also not in a position to lead the elite.

Chelsea are in sixth place, seven points behind United. The two teams meet at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.

Leeds shocked Michael Carrick's team with a furious start and goals from the Swiss Noe Okafora u 5. i In the 29th minute, they led 2:0..

The match was marked by a detail from the 53rd minute, when Manchester United's Argentinean defender Lisandro Martinez, while diving, pulled the hair of Leeds' Calvert-Luis. The referee on the pitch did not see it, but the one in the VAR room did - a direct red card for the Argentine.

United woke up with ten men, reduced the deficit with a goal from Kasemir in the 69th minute, and then had two more huge chances to score the second goal.

He failed, and that's why the current question is - what would have happened if Lisandro hadn't received such a stupid red card, in the era of VAR technology when every inch of the pitch is covered by a video camera...

Leeds, with 36 points, is four more than Tottenham, who are in the relegation zone for the first time in the club's history.

This was Leeds' first victory at the legendary stadium since 1981.
