The Reds moved 13 points off the pace and eight points clear of the Champions League zone; Leeds had not won since August. Liverpool's second straight Premier League defeat in a row came after a 2-1 home loss to Leeds United on Matchday 14 to move 13 points clear of Manchester City at the top, although it could be 15 points if Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

A blunder in communication between Alisson and Joe Gomez allowed Leeds United's Jesse Marsch, Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams to stun Anfield in the fourth minute. Under pressure from Aaronson on the home right flank, Joe Gomez pulled the ball back but Alisson was poorly positioned, failed to react and saw it turn into an assist for Rodrigo Moreno to fire home into an open net for the 1-0 lead.

Jürgen Klopp's Reds dominated the game as usual, but lacked punch, although their reaction was swift as they levelled the scores in the 14th minute. Andrew Robertson delivered a near-post delivery that Mohamed Salah tapped home from close range for his 11th goal of the season, his fourth in the Premier League.

Crysencio Summerville silenced Anfield again in the 89th minute for a 2-1 win that left the Reds ninth in the Premier League on 16 points, eight points adrift of the Champions League qualification places, after losing to bottom side Nottingham Forest last time out. Leeds had not won in nine games when they thrashed Chelsea 3-0 on 21 August. Liverpool host Napoli in midweek for top spot in Group A of the Champions League group stage and visit Tottenham next weekend.

"We love you Liverpool, we do".

Once the match at Anfield was over, a group of Reds fans chanted in support of the team, showing their love and backing despite the bad moment. Liverpool fans are world-renowned for their passion and now they proved they are the best in the Premier League, something that should serve as motivation for the players and Jürgen Klopp.
