When this match begins my friend and I was watching it and he was telling me the old rivalry between Manchester United and Leeds United. Well Leeds was good but way back then. They have the means to compete with Manchester United and the other strong teams in the Premier League. Later on, the club went into financial distress, start selling off the good players and they just keep dropping from league to another. But they managed to survive still at third division.
It was a match that probably there isn't much excitement as today's Leeds is way below Manchester United standard to be exact 43 places below them. But they have proven otherwise. A injured battled player from Leeds and that single goal made the whole match so much more interesting.
Jermaine Beckford the player that cost 45,000 pounds to the club took the chance, control the ball and angle a shot wide of the Manchested United keeper. He scored. 1-0 was enough for Leeds. Manchested United was shocked and Leeds celebrated. It was their first victory at Old Trafford in 29 years.
