Sky Sports presenter David Jones decided NOT to apologise after Noah Okafor made an X-rated outburst following Leeds United's 2-1 win against Manchester United.

Okafor proved to be the match-winner for Leeds, as he struck a first-half brace to help the Whites earn a first league win at Old Trafford since 1981.

But post-match, the Switzerland international appeared to get a little bit carried away as he celebrated and swore in front of the TV camera.

As the camera pointed straight at the delighted Okafor, he shouted: "Let's go. For f**** sake, come on!"

While Sky Sports often decide to apologise after a swear word is picked up, Jones chose not to.

Jones said: "What a night for Leeds United and that young man. Two goals and a little bit of colourful language, I think we can forgive him (Okafor) that on a night of huge passion and huge emotion for his football club.

"Those two goals and that victory might well have just taken a big leap towards Leeds United staying in the Premier League."
