Elland Road Has Been Renamed 'Elanga Road' On Wikipedia And Bruno Fernandes Is The Owner

Elland Road Has Been Renamed 'Elanga Road' On Wikipedia And Bruno Fernandes Is The Owner

Rhythm is a dancer, Anthony Elanga...

Leeds United's Elland Road stadium has been renamed 'Elanga Road' after Anthony Elanga, with Bruno Fernandes listed as the owner following Manchester United's 4-2 win on Sunday.

Fernandes and Elanga were both on the scoresheet as United moved four points clear in the race for the top four.

Elanga scored United's fourth and it was extra sweet after being hit by a projectile while celebrating the third goal.

The 19-year-old slotted past Illan Meslier after some terrific work from Fernandes in the build-up.

It's seen a cheeky United fan take to Wikipedia and rename Leeds' ground in honour of Elanga and give Fernandes, who also scored in the game, ownership rights.

Three stand names were also changed to the Anthony Elanga Stand, Bruno Fernandes Stand and Harry Maguire Stand.

The kind of s**thousery you love to see after an intense game.

One fan commented: "We’ve got Juanfield and Elanga Road. We’re living good."

Another put: "Elanga owns Yorkshire after one game."

While a third said: "Take me hommmmmmeee Elanga Roaaaaaaaad."

United took the lead through Maguire, who scored their first goal from a corner since January 2021.

Luke Shaw whipped a cross in and United captain Maguire got away from Diego Llorente to head home.

Ralf Rangnick's side doubled their lead in added time thanks to Fernandes' header.

After halftime though, Leeds got back into the game in two bizarre minutes.

Rodrigo attempted to cross the ball and saw it loop all the way over David de Gea and into the United net.

Seconds later, Leeds went on the attack and Dan James' cutback found Raphinha who made it 2-2.

Rangnick responded by bringing on Fred for Paul Pogba, a change many questioned at the time.

They were soon left eating their words however as Fred fired home United's third of the game to re-establish their lead with 20 minutes to go.

Elanga added the fourth to seal a league double over Leeds and back-to-back Premier League wins for the second time this year.

"We knew that it was an important win today," Rangnick told BBC Sport.

"That was the best possible answer the team could give. It was perfect with regard to maturity, unity and the best reply that they could give to some articles last week that there was some disruption in the locker room."
