Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lived up to his unwanted tag of super-sub once again when he scored in the dying seconds to rescue a point for Manchester United against Leeds.

Leeds were on course for what would have been their first win at Old Trafford in 20 years after Mark Viduka had put them ahead on 76 minutes with his fifth goal of the season.

But then in the 88th minute Solskjaer, who had also come off the bench to break the deadlock against Olympiakos in midweek, headed home Ryan Giggs' cross to earn United a point.

The champions might even have won in stoppage time and Leeds goalkeeper Nigel Martyn made a terrific save to keep out Ruud van Nistelrooy's header.

United deserved their point even if it means they have equalled their worst ever start to a Premiership season.

The last time they dropped as many points as this was back in 1992, although, as every United fan knows, they did go on to win the title that season.

This clash of Premiership heavyweights was undoubtedly the biggest match of the season so far.

United were presented with the first chance after just two minutes when Martyn pushed away a David Beckham free-kick for a corner.

Martyn then saved a Giggs shot before Beckham and the Welsh international went close with efforts.

Van Nistelrooy managed his first attempt at goal when he headed wide from Beckham's left, yes, left-foot cross from the left wing.

Nicky Butt squandered a good opportunity to open the scoring when he blazed over from no more than 10 yards out from Mikael Silvestre's pull-back.

Leeds finally stirred and Harry Kewell beat Laurent Blanc down the left and crossed for Viduka, whose header was saved by Fabien Barthez.

Then for one brief second the Leeds fans thought their team had scored when the United net rippled, but Viduka had shot into the side-netting and really he should have done better.

Beckham then gave the ball away to Kewell, but Leeds failed to make the break count and Viduka shot wide.

Beckham almost made amends on 35 minutes when his shot from Giggs' cross hit the far post.

Kewell then fired a half volley just over before Robbie Keane did likewise with a right-foot effort.

Viduka should have scored from a great chance just after the interval after some great work by Keane.

He turned Blanc and crossed, but the Australian international ballooned his effort straight up into the air from just a couple of yards out.

Lee Bowyer was fortunate to escape a yellow card, or possibly even a red, when he kicked Mickael Silvestre as the pair lay on the ground following a tackle by the Frenchman.

Meetings between these two are always highly-charged affairs and just before the hour mark the game exploded into life.

Beckham cut down Keane and the Leeds striker responded by getting up and pushing the England skipper over.

Referee Dermot Gallagher restored order and booked Beckham and the United fans went wild when he let Keane off with just a caution.

Keane then curled a free-kick home only for Gallagher to disallow the effort because he had not signalled for the set-piece to be taken.

Van Nistelrooy also had an effort ruled out because Gallagher had already blown for a foul.

Barthez then denied Keane before Martyn saved a Scholes volley.

As the match entered its final quarter, both sides made tactical changes.

First Leeds replaced Keane with David Batty and Kewell pushed forward in support of Viduka, while United brought on Solskjaer for Butt.

Solskjaer had made the breakthrough against Olympiakos and United hoped he could repeat the trick against Leeds.

And sure enough there was a goal, but it was scored by Leeds and not United. On 76 minutes Kewell fed Harte and he swung a cross over from the left wing to Viduka at the back post and the striker shot home from six yards.

With just 100 seconds of normal time remaining, Solskjaer came up trumps once again when he headed home Giggs cross to score United's equaliser.
