Florian Wirtz found himself unmarked and finished off a well-worked move in the box for the Redsâ second. Daniel Farke looked visibly frustrated on the touchline when Wirtzâs goal went in.
Farke decided to ring the changes at half-time, bringing on four players.
The changes worked to perfection, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a brace, and Brenden Aaronson had a goal and assist to help Leeds win the game.
Dominik Szoboszlai gives Leeds verdict after Liverpool suffer defeat
During Leedsâ comeback, they managed to score two goals from set pieces.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin found himself unmarked at the far post as he scored his first goal of the night. The striker also got his second from a set piece, after Seabstiaan Bornauwâs flick on.
Both goals came from throw-ins which Leeds threatened from during the game.
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai spoke about the result, and how Daniel Farkeâs side caused chaos from set pieces.
âNow we know that we conceded two goals from set pieces, we have to take care of them.â
âLast season was a season where the set pieces started to be really important.
âThey (Leeds) are good at corners and long throw-ins. I think this is something we have to start to take care of better.
âI think next season is going to be same like last season, with teams focusing on these set pieces to try score goals.
âEveryone has to do their job better and then we are not going to concede these kind of goals anymore. Itâs as easy as that.
âWe are human beings, so we are going to make mistakes, but from hereon we have to react better.â
