Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a deserved equaliser for Leeds United as they earned a Premier League draw against Manchester United.

The visitors looked set to end a tough week on a high when Bryan Mbeumo scored to give them a half-time lead in the league for the first time this season.

But Daniel Farke’s side were on top from the restart and got the point they merited through an excellent finish from in-form Calvert-Lewin.

United started defender Lisandro Martinez despite his explosive criticism in midweek following the defeat to Atletico Madrid – but he came off at the break.

And with Diogo Dalot at left-back, Leny Yoro at right-back, and Bruno Fernandes shoehorned in as a central attacker flanked by Mbeumo and Amad, it was a different shape for Michael Carrick’s side – and a side that cemented Martinez’s views that the squad lacks balance.

They struggled early on. Fernandes was booked for a late lunge on Tarik Muharemovic before Senne Lammens made a good save to deny Nico Elvedi.

Mbeumo then headed wide unmarked from a fine Youri Tielemans cross and Amad broke away well with James Trafford doing well to sweep and tackle him as the visitors improved.

And the opener came from another brilliant delivery from Tielemans, with Mbeumo sliding in to poke home.

Leeds started the second half well and when Muharemovic headed down a corner, Calvert-Lewin was strong to chest the ball down and smash in.

The England man has now scored in six of his last seven home Premier League games.

Fernandes dragged a good chance wide and substitute Mason Mount shanked one off target as Carrick’s side looked to create chances.

But Trafford was untroubled as Leeds again showed they are a tough nut to crack this season, while Manchester United continue to make their worst start since 1986-87.

Carrick’s side are 13th in the table on seven points from seven games, with Leeds seventh on 10 points.
