Man City Edge Out Liverpool in Thrilling Derby Clash

Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback to snatch a 2-1 victory over Leeds United at Old Trafford, with Matheus Cunha emerging as the hero of the hour. The Brazilian winger’s pace and skill proved too much for the Whites’ backline, as he notched up his first goal for the club in the 65th minute. Cunha’s equaliser was a masterclass of movement and finishing, as he expertly slotted past Illan Meslier to send the United faithful into raptures. The visitors had taken an early lead through Raphinha’s 25th-minute strike, but Cunha’s goal sparked a stunning resurgence from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. The United substitute was also involved in the build-up to Marcus Rashford’s winner, as he beat several Leeds defenders before delivering a pinpoint cross that found its way into the net. The win marks a significant boost for United, who climb to within four points of City at the top of the table. For Leeds, the result is a bitter pill to swallow, particularly given their struggles in front of goal. Illan Meslier’s howler from set-piece was punished by Cunha, and the team will be looking to regroup and refocus ahead of their next match against West Ham United. Solskjaer praised his side’s collective effort after the final whistle, stating: “We worked hard as a team to get that result. Matheus was a game-changer, but it was a team performance. We’re proud of the three points.”
