Elland Road turned up. Leeds United stood up.
Leeds and Manchester United shared the points in a fierce 1-1 draw, but this felt bigger than a scoreline. Leeds took the lead, rattled United, and showed again that they belong at this level — even if the winner never came.
In this episode we break down:
• Why this felt like a statement performance
• What Leeds did right — and what still holds them back
• The atmosphere, the mentality, and the moments that swung the game
• Whether this was a point gained or two dropped
Unbeaten runs don’t mean much — performances do. And this one mattered.
