Liverpool vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Liverpool 1-2 Leeds: Summerville’s 89th minute winner ended the Reds’ unbeaten run at home
Crysensio Summerville scored a late winner as Leeds registered their first victory in nine Premier League games with a dramatic 2-1 triumph at Liverpool to ease the pressure on boss Jesse Marsch.
The visitors took the lead in the fourth minute of a frenetic first half as they capitalised on a mix-up between Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker, with Rodrigo tapping in, before Mohamed Salah’s 14th-minute finish drew things level.
Brenden Aaronson almost put Leeds back in front soon after, volleying against the bar, and they subsequently looked set to secure a point after Illan Meslier made a number of fine saves in the second half.
Summerville then struck past Alisson in the 89th minute to give the Yorkshire outfit their first win at Liverpool since 2001, ending a four-match losing streak.

SAVE! Nunez angles a strike towards the top-left corner from the edge of the box. Meslier produces futher heroics against the Liverpool forward to turn his attempt over the bar.

Salah tries to steer an offload towards Nunez, but Kristensen tracks his run and clears into touch.

Salah is wasteful in the final thrid as he tries a clever chip that goes out for a goal-kick rather than a basic pass with Firmino and Nunez both available in the middle.

Jones has space to run into and team-mates in support ahead of him, but he opts for a throughball that travels straight through to Meslier.

Liverpool are starting to up the ante in the final third and Leeds are being pushed further and further towards their own goal.

OVER! Koch makes a vital block to deny Salah and the ball rebounds off the Egypt international before looping over the bar, so Liverpool do not even get a corner out of it.
