THE SHOCK REASON LEEDS WERE DENIED A LAST-MINUTE PENALTY AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED TODAY
A classic Roses Derby ends 1-1! See how Brenden Aaronson’s strike was canceled out by Matheus Cunha in a frantic Elland Road clash.
Leeds United faced off against their old rivals Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday lunchtime, and the place was absolutely buzzing. Leeds struck first, sending the home crowd wild in this classic Roses derby, but Manchester United hit back, and after a wild, end-to-end battle, the game finished 1-1.
The first half was pretty even, with both sides carving out chances. Leeds nearly broke through when Dominic Calvert-Lewin flicked a header off an Anton Stach cross, only to see it bounce off the outside of the post. Calvert-Lewin probably should have done better earlier too, blasting over the bar from close in after some slick work from Brenden Aaronson and the energetic Noah Okafor.
Manchester United weren’t just along for the ride. Lucas Perri had to be sharp, pulling off a great save to tip Leny Yoro’s header over the bar. Jaka Bijol was everywhere at the back for Leeds, throwing himself into tackles and making a clever header at a tough angle to keep Benjamin Sesko from getting in on goal.
Just before halftime, Patrick Dorgu fired wide from outside the box after Matheus Cunha set him up. Cunha actually thought he’d scored early on, finishing well from the edge of the area, but the flag went straight up for offside. A few minutes later, he volleyed over from a corner after Perri’s save from Yoro.
No changes at the break, and Leeds came out flying. They pinned United back, with Gabriel Gudmundsson’s long throws causing some chaos, though Calvert-Lewin just couldn’t get on the end of one. Gudmundsson tried his luck soon after, shooting low from a tight angle, but Senne Lammens got down to tip it wide. United broke quickly from that corner, and Manuel Ugarte fired wide at the other end.
The match stayed on a knife edge, but with just over an hour gone, Leeds finally made the breakthrough. Pascal Struijk’s clearance somehow turned into the perfect through ball for Aaronson, who reacted fast, raced past the United defense, and finished coolly to put Leeds in front.
It didn’t last. Three minutes later, United substitute Joshua Zirkzee got involved right away, sliding in Cunha behind Bijol, and Cunha slotted past Perri to level things up.
Leeds didn’t back down. Lammens had to make a big save to keep out Okafor’s overhead kick in a packed box. Then United had a golden chance to take the lead, but Sesko couldn’t steer Zirkzee’s pinpoint cross on target from close range.
As the game wore on, Leeds boss Daniel Farke made changes, bringing on Lukas Nmecha for Okafor and then Willy Gnonto and Ao Tanaka for Ilia Gruev and Sebastiaan Bornauw, and switched to a back four. The goalpost saved Leeds soon after, with Cunha’s first-time shot from a Dorgu pass clipping the outside of the post.
With three minutes to go, Farke threw on Joel Piroe for Aaronson, and Piroe almost made an instant impact, curling a shot just over the bar after a quick break.
Leeds wanted a penalty late on when Gnonto’s cross struck Cunha’s arm, but the referee waved it away, and United cleared their lines. Four frantic minutes of added time followed, both teams desperate for a winner, but the last real chance fell to Anton Stach, who smashed his shot over from the edge of the box. And that was that—an entertaining 1-1 draw that probably left both sides feeling like they could have had more.
Leeds United: Perri; Justin, Bornauw, Bijol, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Stach, Aaronson; Okafor, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Darlow, Byram, Longstaff, Tanaka, Harrison, Gnonto, Chambers, Piroe, Nmecha.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
