Arne Slot's future at Liverpool came under even more scrutiny after his side collapsed from 2-0 up to draw 3-3 against a spirited Leeds United, missing the opportunity to pull level with fourth-placed Chelsea. The result adds to a frustrating week for the Reds, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland in midweek after a late Florian Wirtz deflection rescued a point.
Softfootball understands that the pre-match headlines focused on Mohamed Salah, who was benched for a third straight Premier League game, but Liverpool initially coped well without him. They dominated the early tempo, and Curtis Jones came closest in the opening 15 minutes, curling a superb effort off the crossbar.
Leeds, coming off a famous 3-1 win over Chelsea earlier in the week , set up in a deep five-man defence under Daniel Farke but offered almost nothing going forward as they spent most of the half camped in their own territory.
