Leeds United end two incredible Liverpool Anfield sequences with shock win

Leeds United ended two incredible Liverpool records when Crysencio Summerville fired the Whites to a 2-1 win at Anfield.

Heading into injury time, substitute Wilfried Gnonto managed to put a cross in from the left-hand side, which found striker Patrick Bamford in the box.

Bamford's touch ended up in the path of Summerville, who composed himself to fire home past Liverpool keeper Alisson to secure the Whites a famous away win.

In beating Liverpool at Anfield, Leeds ended two records. Prior to their defeat, Liverpool had not lost a league game at home in front of their fans since April 23 2017 when they fell 2-1 to Christian Benteke inspired Crystal Palace.

For much of that run, defender Virgil van Dijk has played a pivotal role in turning Anfield into a fortress. Had Liverpool won or drawn against Leeds, that would have meant the Dutch defender had gone 70 league games unbeaten at Anfield.

Given Leeds had not won a game since August 21 prior to their win over Liverpool, their 2-1 Merseyside win could be seen as some sort of miracle.

However, the reality is, the Whites were brave, and did not sit back against Jurgen Klopp's side.
