🔗 Share this article Cunha Finds the Net to Snatch Manchester United a Point at Elland Road. The home side's a player shields the ball from the opposition's Leny Yoro in the Premier League battle at Elland Road. Key Moments Dominic Calvert-Lewin sees a early header come back off the post. Brenden Aaronson puts the hosts ahead with a well-placed strike in the second period. Cunha responds just three minutes later. The Yorkshire side continue their longest Premier League undefeated streak since the turn of the century. The Red Devils' poor run of form continued at Elland Road, but head coach Ruben Amorim had his Brazilian forward to thank for the team avoiding even more damage against their old rivals. The Everton loanee headed a first-half effort against the woodwork for the confident home team before the American midfielder applied a cool finish with a driven, 62nd-minute effort. With the goal, Amorim was under intense scrutiny after his side had failed to beat bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers at home earlier in the week. Nevertheless, against a team who had less time to prepare, Cunha levelled three minutes later when he latched onto a pass from introduced the Dutchman and guided a finish underneath rushing Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the Brazilian's fourth goal since his big-money summer move and came at a time when the manager is without several key attacking players due to a mix of fitness issues and national team commitments. Not that you would expect the hosts to care about that given their own lack of preparation time. The Swiss attacker forced a full length save out of Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and visiting heads were in hands when Benjamin Sesko, who is finding it hard to make an impact, turned his teammate's cut-back wide from close range. The goalscorer, who had a goal ruled out for offside much earlier in the contest, also blasted against a post late on. The draw prolongs the home side's unbeaten run to seven games, their longest such streak since over two decades ago, and takes them eight points clear of the drop zone. For the visitors though, it was yet another opportunity to move into fourth spot, albeit only for a short time, wasted. Man Utd Analysis: The Manager's Side Misfire Again With the Africa Cup of Nations reaching its latter stages, Amorim could be forgiven for hoping the involved countries make a pretty quick exit. Current injuries to captain Bruno Fernandes and Three Lions star Mason Mount only heightened the impact the unavailability of other attackers is having on Amorim's squad. It's not that the missing pair are the answer to all of the club's problems. After all, they were part of the side that suffered disappointing results earlier in the campaign. But without them, the boss has limited alternatives in attack. He evidently does not have full faith in teenager Shea Lacey or the seasoned Zirkzee, even though the Netherlands forward delivered the assist for the equaliser almost instantly after his introduction as a substitute. That leaves the Brazilian, who has now scored three goals in five games, and others playing out of their natural positions, alongside Benjamin Sesko. On this evidence, the big-money frontman looks no better than previous struggling signings, lacking in belief and assurance in front of goal. His failure to turn home Zirkzee's cross means it is now a long run without a goal for the young striker. Leeds Analysis: Another Step Towards Safety After memorable victories in their previous home games, the arrival of their biggest rivals to home was a comparatively subdued affair. True, there were moments of typical atmosphere, but the hostile edge was not as pronounced as in previous encounters. Leeds' fans were more preoccupied about their side's struggle to get worthwhile possession in advanced areas for any prolonged period. The Calvert-Lewin header that clipped the post was an rare moment of quality in a tight first half. It still felt as though the hosts were finding it tough when a mistake opened the door for the opener. For a short moment, Leeds' ecstatic fans thought they were about to secure a coveted win against their old foes. Nevertheless, there is a much bigger picture for the manager and the club to deal with. When they endured a poor run of form earlier in the campaign, many speculated about the manager's future. Instead, he is now overseeing significant progress. The task is not done yet but step by step, Leeds are getting nearer to achieving their top-flight status. What Happens Next? The Yorkshire club have a top-flight trip to St James' Park in midweek, followed by the start of their domestic cup campaign next weekend. The Red Devils face a Premier League trip to Turf Moor before also entering their cup journey with a home tie.
