25. Liverpool come very close to getting their second as Mane is picked out directly in front of goal.
Jota seems to fizz the ball in well to pick out Mane, but on rewatching it, it was slightly behind the forward.
Mane’s stance also appears to be wrong and his right-footed effort is sent way over the bar from only a few yards out.
GOOOOAL
Thiago scores some goal, but the flag’s up and it’s ruled out.
Salah was miles off as he picked up the ball on the edge of the area on the right.
He lifts the ball across the box to the far post, where Thiago steals it at the back post, beyond Ayling and headers the ball across goal.

How’s stat then.
Only four players have reached the 100 club quicker than Salah.

Salah gets the goal that he’s threatened in the opening 20 minutes.

Seems he was desperately trying to halt the counter attack, but it was a little late.

14. Alexander-Arnold, Elliot and Salah combine well on the right, before Salah sends a lovely chip pass to pick out Jota.

6. An absolultey delightful ball is whipped in from the right by Alexander-Arnold and curls well just inside the six-yard box, but Jota pulls to an abrupt stop.
It’s not clear why he stops, as it was a perfect opportunity for Jota to be one-on-one with the keeper.
The ball rolls out the back line on the left, much to Liverpool’s annoyance.
LEEDS 0-0 LIVERPOOL
5. The ball’s straight up the other side as Leeds are playing with really intent and intensity.
Raphinha slips the ball through to Rodrigo just inside the area and sets him up nicely, but he shoots straight at Alisson who bats the ball away with ease.
Warning shot fired.

4. Salah makes a decent run down the right wing, he plays a cheeky one-two with Jota before engaging in a footrace with Phillips.
The Egyptian beats him, but is brought to an abrupt halt on the edge of the box, on the right, and appeals for a freekick. He went down very easily..
LEEDS 0-0 LIVERPOOL
2. Scrappy start from Liverpool too, seems both teams need to settle themselves.
Meslier picks out Ayling on the right who sends a long ball over the top of Matip to pick out Bamford on the edge of the box.
