Manchester United secured their top 4 spot in the Premier League table after handing Leeds United a thrilling 4-2 defeat in front of a hostile home crowd at the rain-soaked Elland Road on Sunday. 

Manchester United showed grit right from the start as captain Harry Maguire scored the first goal in the 34th minute before Bruno Fernandes doubled the lead in the injury time of half-time. A spirited Leeds though made a stunning return courtesy of Rodrigo Moreno and Raphiha who hit the goal twice within 1 minute in the 2nd half. 

However, 2 late goals by Fred and Anthony Elangna in the 70th and 88th min respectively helped the undeterred Ralf Rangnick's men to maintain their 4th spot in the Premier League standings. Leeds remain 5 points above the relegation zone at 15th position in the table.
