Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds United in the Premier League at Elland Road, extending their winless run to six matches across all competitions. Bryan Mbeumo put Michael Carrick’s side ahead in the 35th minute, converting Youri Tielemans’ low cross, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised six minutes into the second half after Leeds capitalised on a corner. Both sides created opportunities to find a winner, with United goalkeeper Senne Lammens denying Anton Stach late on, as Leeds extended their unbeaten home league run while United missed another chance to secure a much-needed victory.
Real Madrid cruised to a 4-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday, October 18, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice to keep the pressure on leaders Barcelona ahead of next week’s El Clasico.

The France striker then converted a Panenka penalty after the break, taking his tally to 11 goals in 11 games across competitions, while Manu Bueno pulled one back for Sevilla before Yan Diomande restored Madrid’s three-goal cushion. The victory leaves Real Madrid six points behind Barcelona, who they face on October 25, with Vinicius Junior missing the Sevilla clash due to suspension.
