A 19th-minute goal from in-form striker Jermaine Beckford gave the Leeds United a stunning victory over Manchester United, who have won the Cup a record 11 times and never lost to lower division club since 1984. The goal came from a 50-meter ball from Johnny Howson which went over the champions' defense, allowing Beckford to control it and angle a shot wide of 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.
United's first lost to lower league opposition since 1984 also gave Leeds a memorable victory at a ground where they regularly used to duel with United for national supremacy before their slide down the leagues.
Robert Snodgrass smashed a 25-meter free kick against the United bar two minutes later before goalkeeper Casper Ankergren parried a goal bound effort from Wayne Rooney in stoppage time.
Michael Owen, Dimitar Berbatov and Rooney went close to equalizing for United, but Leeds denied the home side's rally to snap their first victory at Old Trafford since 1981.
West Ham United and Arsenal were meeting in a London derby at Upton Park later on Sunday.
