For the first time since September 2002, Leeds sat ahead of Manchester United in the table heading into a Premier League meeting of the teams.

While their impressive five-game unbeaten start was ended by Arsenal last weekend, the nature of the performance ensured the hosts' confidence remained high before one of the club's most eagerly anticipated matches of the season.

That was reflected in their superior possession and territory as they attempted to take the game to Manchester United, although they struggled to create clear-cut chances until Tarik Muharemovic and Dominic Calvert-Lewin combined to level the contest.

The goal was the combative Calvert-Lewin's seventh in his latest seven matches at Elland Road - and his fourth goal in seven league games this term.

Daniel Farke's side ultimately could not find a winning goal to deliver a first victory over Manchester United at Elland Road since 2002 for their fans.

But the foundations for a season of significant progress are in place, and they extended their unbeaten home league run to eight games - their longest such stretch since December 2001.
