Football Cunha strikes to rescue a point for United against Leeds

Daniel Farke's promoted side went into yesterday lunchtime's encounter on a six-game unbeaten run but with two days' less rest than their cross-Pennine enemies.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin hit the post in the first half and Leeds began to dream of a first Premier League win against their arch-rivals since September 2002 when Aaronson slammed home after the break.

But that lead lasted just three minutes as freshly introduced substitute Joshua Zirkzee played in Cunha to coolly level and secure the Red Devils a share of the spoils in West Yorkshire.

Leeds, without key men Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Jayden Bogle, pushed until the end of a game which represents another missed opportunity for Amorim's absentee-hit United.
