– Leeds put up a fantastic performance against Liverpool at anfield
– The premier league newcomers lost 4-3, but will take positivity
– Mohammed Salah scored a hat trick to make it a winning start for the reds
Leeds United lost their first match of the 2020/21 season against Liverpool at anfield.
The premier league newcomers were fantastic and can take a lot of positivity from the match despite losing 4-3 against the premier league champions.
Mohammed Salah open the scoring just four minutes into the match from the spot, before Harrison levelled for Leeds eight minutes later, and in another eight minutes later Van Dijk headed Liverpool back in front on 20 minutes from Andy Robertson’s corner, but was caught out at the other end in jaw-dropping fashion.
Bamford pull Leeds levelled again, Salah scored his second on the night to make it 3-2 in the 33rd minutes.
Klich scored in the second half to draw Leeds levelled before Salah make it a hat trick from the spot, after Rodrigo tripped Firmino, in the 88th minutes to win the match and made sure of a winning start for the reds.
Virgil van dijk was guilty for some of the goals scored by Leeds as his errors gifted Leeds two goals in the match, and the Liverpool defense was troubled for much of the first 45 minutes. The rare mistake prompt former Liverpool defender and legend Jamie Carragher to term Virgil performance as ‘arrogant’
He said: ‘It’s a brilliant game. I said hopefully after 17 minutes we’d get 90 minutes of this. This could be 7-7 at the end of the game.
‘Alisson is not happy, he gets between the centre backs there. Virgil van Dijk, that’s just too arrogant.’
Leeds United will be banking on the fine performance in their next match and will hope to get a favourable result.
