An overhit back pass from Joe Gomez, a slip from Alisson and Virgil van Dijk switching off made for a calamity of errors inside just four minutes, Rodrigo could not believe his luck.

Thankfully the Reds, continuing in the 4-4-2 diamond from midweek, did not take too long to strike back, with a Salah volley at the back post, courtesy of Andy Robertson‘s cross.

Crysencio Summerville scoring in the final minute of the 90 to put Leeds into the lead, a side who sat in the relegation places before kick-off and had not won since August.

It spells the end of Liverpool’s unbeaten run with a full crowd at Anfield, one that has been in place since April 2017 and for a run of 81 games. Where to go from here? ThisIsAnfield
