Anthony Elanga has last laugh with goal celebration after being hit in the head with coin

Anthony Elanga got the last laugh after he was hit in the head with a missile as he secured three points for Manchester United against Leeds United.

The Red Devils sealed a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Marcelo Bielsa's men at Elland Road.

United were seemingly cruising in the first half as Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes fired the visitors into a comfortable lead.

Elanga was hurt by the object and received medical attention, although fortunately, he was able to continue.

And he provided the perfect response by sealing the victory in the 88th minute netting the fourth goal for Ralf Rangnick's men.

Fernandes set up Elanga who fired a low strike under Meslier as he wheeled away in delight.

He made sure to let the Leeds fans know about it as well as he 'shooshed' the Elland Road faithful putting his finger to his lips.

"They have made hard work of it but eventually their class has told," said United legend Gary Neville on commentary for Sky Sports.

"Fernandes with a little bit of skill, rolls it into Elanga's path and you'd expect him to finish that."
