Premier League, Manchester United 6-2 Leeds United: Records broken

Manchester United thrashed Leeds United 6-2 in gameweek 14 of the Premier League 2020-21 season. Scott McTominay gave United the perfect start, scoring twice inside three minutes. From there on United controlled the game and thwarted their rivals. The win helps United move to third in the Premier League table. Earlier, Tottenham were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City. Here are the records broken.

Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof then added to the scoresheet, before Liam Cooper pulled one back in a pulsating first half. Daniel James added the fifth, before Fernandes scored a penalty. Stuart Dallas curled home a stunning second consolation.
