- 9:27The final whistle confirms the result.
James Trafford has to leave his penalty area and win a footrace with Amad Diallo before sliding in to stop the attack. It is an early reminder that the goalkeepers have plenty to do in Leeds United's draw with Manchester United, and one of the moments viewers are discussing beneath NBC Sports' highlights.
Bryan Mbeumo gives Manchester United the lead, sliding onto Youri Tielemans's low cross after previously missing a close-range header. Leeds answers through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who bundles home a loose ball following a corner.
The equalizer is not the end of the danger. Bruno Fernandes shoots narrowly over, and a late scramble leaves Noussair Mazraoui and Senne Lammens working to keep Leeds out. The match finishes level, with neither side finding the decisive touch.
The highlights' opening audience is far beyond NBC Sports' usual first day for regular uploads. The comment section is unusually busy too: viewers question United's starting lineup and substitutions, discuss Leeds' missed chances, and single out Trafford's sprint out of goal.
There is a wider Premier League burst on the channel, with Nottingham Forest-Arsenal and Bournemouth-Sunderland highlights also drawing unusually large early audiences. For viewers following the United selection debate, Rebecca Lowe's separate edition of The Lowe Down takes up Michael Carrick's decision to start Lisandro Martinez.
