Leeds United and Liverpool entertained from the first whistle to the final kick of the ball. Both teams could have walked away with all the points but lack of composure in front of goal proved costly.

Liverpool drew first blood in the thrilling one all draw with Leeds. Sadio Mane tucked away a sitter for his first goal in 10 games for the Reds – ending his longest drought in Liverpool colours.

His goal and Liverpool’s only goal of the game was also the 300th goal scored by one of the famous front three Mane, Roberto Fimrino, and Mohamed Salah.

Jurgen Klopp’s men bossed the first half and were rightfully up by one goal but as the game wore on the Reds appeared to lose steam and lost their grip on the game.

When the second half got underway, the home side took charge of the game and started asking Alisson Becker more and more questions.

The tie was looking like the champions of England were about to win their fourth EPL fixture in a row but then Leeds snatched a point back with a late equalizer through Diego Llorente from a corner in the 87th minute.

With this being said, Leeds too had their chances to overturn the result and put themselves ahead but were just as wasteful in front of goal as the visitors.
