Premiership: Man United hold on in seven goal thriller

Manchester United are back at the top of the Premiership after a seven goal thriller at Elland Road.

The Premiership's high noon showdown was perfectly balanced after 20 minutes when Mark Viduka cancelled out Paul Scholes' early opener.

But two quick goals from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and a second-half tap-in from Ryan Giggs underlined an emphatic response to United's home defeat against Middlesbrough before Leeds responded through Ian Harte and Lee Bowyer.

The Champions held out to win 4 - 3 and lead the table now by 2 points. Liverpool can return to the top of the table as they welcome Charlton Athletic to Anfield this afternoon.
