Manchester City 1 Leeds Utd 1
Alex Ferguson was a first-time visitor last night to the City of Manchester stadium and saw possible transfer target Mark Viduka score for Leeds.
If it was to scrutinise the form of Mark Viduka, the talented but troublesome Leeds forward might have played himself closer to the trans-Pennine switch that is being mooted.
Viduka's goal will have left Manchester United's manager with plenty to ponder and it would have taken Leeds out of the relegation quagmire for the first time in two months had it not been for a late equaliser by the substitute Antoine Sibierski.
In doing so, the French midfielder spared the blushes of his compatriot David Sommeil, whose error had led to Viduka scoring the goal that for so long looked like inflicting more punishment on a City side without a win now in nine matches.
Sommeil's attempt to take the ball past Viduka was misguided and an atrocious first touch simply presented the ball to his opponent. Viduka calmly rounded David Seaman before converting a soft goal.
