Man Utd hammer hapless Leeds

Manchester United scored six goals in a Premier League game for the first time in more than nine years as they crushed Leeds United.

Scott McTominay scored twice in the opening three minutes as Manchester United cruised to a 6-2 win over Leeds United in Sunday’s epic Premier League clash.

The midfielder drilled home inside 66 seconds and added a second with a calm finish 104 seconds later – the fastest a player has ever netted a brace in the competition.

Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof increased the home side’s lead, with Liam Cooper’s header reducing the arrears at the end of a pulsating first 45 minutes.

Daniel James broke clear of the Leeds defence to restore the hosts’ four-goal advantage 20 minutes into the second half, before Fernandes added his second of the game from the penalty spot after Martial had been tripped by Pascal Struijk.

Stuart Dallas curled home a stunning second consolation for Leeds – a fitting end to one of the games of the season.

The victory lifts Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side above fourth-placed Everton on goal difference, while Leeds remain seven points above the relegation zone in 14th.

Meanwhile, Leicester City have climbed to second in the Premier League as they overcame top-four rivals Tottenham to move four points behind leaders Liverpool.
