MU finally managed to increase its lead to 2-0 over Leeds. It was Joe Hugill’s turn to get his name on the scoreboard in the 81st minute.
Emeran’s cross defended the Leeds defense in the middle of the penalty box, the ball was received by Hugill who was out of control. Hugill easily finished with a right-footed shot into the middle of the goal.
