Oct 18: Roy Keane's late header put Manchester United back on top of the Premiership with victory against Leeds United at Elland Road. Manchester United's captain stole on to Gary Neville's cross to break the deadlock with nine minutes left as Leeds threatened to frustrate Sir Alex Ferguson's champions.
It also lifted the pressure on England defender Rio Ferdinand, who had been taunted by the crowd that once idolised him following the controversy surrounding his recent missed drugs test.
Manchester United's stay on the Premiership summit may be brief with leaders Chelsea facing Arsenal at Highbury later on Saturday, but Ferguson will simply be delighted with the three points.
Ferguson's plans to give youngster Cristiano Ronaldo a rest had to be shelved when Ryan Giggs was ruled out through illness.
Leeds counterpart Reid also restored 17-year-old James Milner after his loan spell at Swindon for only his second start of the season.
And Ronaldo was swiftly into the action when he was at the centre of a penalty controversy after five minutes.
Ronaldo looked for a penalty from referee Graham Poll after tussling with Gary Kelly for a Mikael Silvestre through ball, but his appeals were waved away.
And in an eventful start, Ronaldo was then booked in the 14th minute for diving in attempting to win another penalty as he again tangled with Kelly.
Manchester United were making the early chances and Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson was forced to save at the second attempt from Paul Scholes.
Zoumana Camara then had to clear superbly from Darren Fletcher's cross, with Ruud van Nistelrooy lurking.
David Batty, back in the Leeds midfield, was in combative mood and he was booked after 40 minutes for a challenge on Ronaldo.
And Van Nistelrooy almost created an opening for Scholes five minutes after the break, but Robinson blocked again and Leeds scrambled to safety.
Leeds were not creating any clear-cut openings, but Reid's side were showing resilience and determination to keep the champions at bay.
