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.

Jurgen Klopp will not be happy with his side's first-half performance. They were cut open far too easily by the visitors and could be two or three goals behind on another day. The Reds dug themselves out of their initial hole, but will need a vast improvement in the second half.

It's all square at the break in the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Leeds. A mistake from Joe Gomez handed the visitors the opener as Rodrigo Moreno converted from close range following a poor back pass from the Liverpool defender. Mohamed Salah equalised for the hosts, but the Whites came close to regaining their advantage. Brendon Aaronson struck the bar, while Jack Harrison and Rodrigo were both denied by Alisson.

Gomez brings down Summerville on the edge of the box with a loose challenge. Leeds have a great chance to threaten just before the break from the resulting set-piece.

Harrison threads the needle to release Rodrigo in space on the left flank. He does not have many options, but still manages to get a strike away forcing Alisson into a stop.
