Leeds United caused the biggest shock of the FA Cup third round so far with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Jermaine Beckford, the Leeds striker, scored in the 19th minute for the League One leaders as United lost at this stage of the competition for the first time since losing to Bournemouth in 1984.
Beckford looked to have miscontrolled Johnny Howson's long diagonal pass, but he angled a low finish past Wes Brown, the Manchester United centre half, and goalkeeper Tomas Kuszczak.
It was the first time Alex Ferguson had suffered defeat in the third round, the stage at which the top clubs enter the FA Cup, since he became United manager in 1986.
