Leeds display at Manchester United will send shiver down spine or relegation rivals, says Jamie Carragher
Noah Okafor double at Old Trafford moves Leeds six points clear of 18th-placed Tottenham; Gary Neville says 'monumental' win will 'go a long way towards securing survival'
Jamie Carragher believes Leeds' shock 2-1 win at Manchester United will "send a shiver down the spine" of their relegation rivals.
Noah Okafor scored twice in a blistering first half as Daniel Farke's side moved six points clear of the drop zone, piling further pressure on beleaguered Tottenham in 18th place.
Okafor opened the scoring in the fifth minute, before adding a deflected second before the half-hour mark in a swaggering performance that Carragher reckons is ominous for the sides scrapping below them.
"For the majority of this season, they've been a breath of fresh air in the Premier League," he said.
"They've been absolutely fantastic. But how they performed in the first half tonight will send a shiver down the spines of everyone in that relegation fight.
"That was a confident performance, coming to the most in-form team at home.
"They didn't just hang on in a game like that, they absolutely bossed Man Utd in the first half.
"Those teams down there, they would have been watching tonight - the supporters, players and staff - and that will be a big blow for them psychologically.
"That was the performance of a really good team. When we go back to Tottenham, we haven't seen a performance like that from them in about six months."
