Matheus Cunha rescued a point for Manchester United in a 1-1 draw at Leeds in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Brazil forward equalized for United after U.S. international Brenden Aaronson put Leeds in front in the second half at Elland Road.
Aaronson opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, but Cunha leveled three minutes later. Cunha was close to firing a winner late in the match with a curling shot from outside the box that struck the outside of the post.
United has lost just two of its last 14 games in the league, but six draws during that run have seen Ruben Amorim’s team struggle to keep pace with the top three in the standings.
Leeds is unbeaten in seven games and went ahead when Aaronson raced past United defender Ayden Heaven and shot low into the far corner.
Cunha scored his third goal in his last five games when latching onto a pass from substitute Joshua Zirkzee and sliding a shot past Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
Rice scores brace as Arsenal go six clear
Declan Rice scored two second-half goals as Arsenal won 3-2 away to Bournemouth to open up a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
The England midfielder netted both of his goals from near the edge of the Bournemouth penalty area, after assists from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka in the 54th and 71st minutes respectively.
Bournemouth opened the scoring after 10 minutes when a bad mistake from Arsenal’s Gabriel allowed Evanilson to put the home side ahead, but the defender made amends just six minutes later with a powerful drive into the net after a penalty area scramble, reports Xinhua.
Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth hope with a powerful 76th-minute shot, but his side couldn’t find the equalizer from there.
Aston Villa recovered from its midweek loss to Arsenal to claim its 12th win in 13 matches with a 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest coach Sean Dyche set his side up to defend and frustrate Aston Villa, but was undone by Ollie Watkins’ excellent opener in first half injury time.
John McGinn doubled Aston Villa’s lead four minutes after the break and although Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back for Forest in the 61st minute, McGinn secured the hosts’ win with a 73rd-minute goal.
Brighton won 2-0 at home to Burnley with a 29th-minute goal from Georginio Rutter and a goal from Yasin Ayari early in the second half, keeping the home side in touch with the European places while sinking Burnley deeper into relegation trouble.
West Ham is also deeper in trouble after gifting Wolverhampton Wanderers its first victory of the season.
Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-chan and Mateus Mane put Wolves 3-0 up before halftime, while West Ham produced a dreadful performance with over 600 passes but no chance throughout the match.
