But spirited Leeds, buoyed by Wednesday’s home win against Chelsea, fought back in stunning fashion, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring from the spot before Anton Stach sparked bedlam moments later. Dominik Szoboszlai looked to have spared Liverpool’s blushes 10 minutes from time, but Daniel Farke’s dogged side continued to fight and rocked Elland Road to its foundations in stoppage time.

Farke’s men kept their discipline but Liverpool grew into proceedings, with Curtis Jones sending a strike from the edge of the box on to the crossbar. Normally reliable Joe Rodon’s lax pass to skipper Ethan Ampadu was lapped up by Ekitike, who kept his cool as he ran towards goal and beat Lucas Perri in the 48th minute.

Hugo Ekitike of Liverpool scores Ekitike’s double looked to have ended this meeting as a contest, but Liverpool have repeatedly shown an inability to control games in recent months. Perri expertly stopped Van Dijk nodding the visitors back ahead, but the Leeds goals seemed to wake Slot’s side from their slumber.
