Liverpool –
Leeds United lost 3-4 to Liverpool on the Premier League weekend. Even so, Marcelo Bielsa was quite satisfied to see that his team managed to upset the Reds.
At Anfield on Saturday (12/09/2020), Liverpool seemed to be pushing. Over 90 minutes, they created 22 shots, compared to 6 for Leeds. The defending champion also went ahead with a penalty from Mohamed Salah in the 4th minute.
However, Leeds, the promoted team with champion status in the Championship division, never gave up. They managed to take advantage of the gaps in the Liverpool defense, and finally tied in the 12th minute with a kick from Jack Harrison.
A Virgil Van Dijk header put the Reds ahead again in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, the Dutch defender’s error caused Patrick Bamford to equalize ten minutes later.
Salah through his volley managed to make the score 3-2 in the 33rd minute. But in the 66th minute, Leeds managed for the third time to make the score equally strong through Mateusz Klich, again taking advantage of the escort of the players from Liverpool.
Liverpool finally came out as the winner. Salah’s penalty late in the second half shattered Leeds’ dream of achieving a good result in their first appearance in English football’s top flight after 16 years.

Even so, Bielsa still praised the appearance of her adopted children. At least, there were 13 shots from Juergen Klopp’s team that were successfully blocked by Kalvin Phillips et al. Leeds also had the ball by as much as 51.6 percent, although they had few chances.
“But we can also make it difficult for Liverpool to play as usual and we are working hard for that. In fact, we can even them for most of the game,” continued the Argentine tactician.
