Because Man United were playing at home, the game was on the telly and Leeds scored in the middle of first half, it meant lots of Man U fans (between sanwhiches and trips to the club shop) saw the goal – save for a few thousand who left early to miss the rush back to London (the Jubilee Line is shut on the Tube at the weekends). Enjoy these pictures of the match…
