Leeds United news as Graeme Souness delivers 'bullied' Liverpool verdict after Whites win

Here are the Leeds United evening headlines on Sunday, October 30.

Graeme Souness delivers 'bullied' Liverpool verdict after Leeds United win

Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness has said that Leeds United 'bullied' the hosts in their 2-1 win last night as the Whites moved out of the relegation zone.

Jesse Marsch's men found their first win since late August after a mistake at the back by Joe Gomez gave Rodrigo an open goal to give Leeds the lead before Mohamed Salah equalised just before halftime.

However, a late winner from Crysencio Summerville fired the Whites into the lead and pushed them up to 15th.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, Souness was furious with the performance of his old side, claiming that Jurgen Klopp's side don't have anything left to give.

“Liverpool are a country mile from where they were over the last few years. In many instances, Leeds were more than a match for Liverpool and they did to Liverpool what they had been doing to teams for years.

“Liverpool basically bullied teams before, their midfield bullied teams. And now they’re being bullied. That’s making them vulnerable at the back, and they’re not creating the same chances up front.

“They are a shadow [of the team they used to be]. Liverpool still had enough chances to win the game, but they are not like the Liverpool we’ve seen for the last five years.

"They don’t play with the same intensity and just don’t have it in their legs anymore.”

'Spirit of champions' - National media round-up of Leeds United's historic win at Liverpool

Leeds United have been praised for showing the spirit of champions at Anfield as they picked up their first win in eight matches. Jesse Marsch has come under increased pressure with the Whites dropping down the table after a bright start to the campaign.

Results may not have told the full picture, with Leeds turning in some impressive displays, but it's results that ultimately matter. In winning at Anfield, the Whites ended a 29-game unbeaten home run for Jurgen Klopp's side, an historic scalp for Marsch and his side.

At full-time, Marsch reiterated the need to be in it together as the Whites look to kick start their campaign and avoid a repeat of last season.

Here's what the national media had to say about the win over Liverpool this weekend.

Crysencio Summerville has come of age at Leeds United as Jesse Marsch delivers new challenge

Crysencio Summerville has cut a frustrated figure at times. The Dutchman made statement of intent by taking the number 10 shirt at the start of the campaign, but he has had to settle for a series of short stints here and there off the Leeds United bench this season.

As a result he has struggled to make the desired impact under Jesse Marsch, struggling to show his best and make the full-time step up from the Under-21s squad and into the first-team picture. However, on Saturday night in Merseyside, Summerville, on the eve of his 21st birthday, well and truly announced himself to the Leeds United fanbase by producing a moment they will likely never forget.

The game at Anfield looked to be heading for a stalemate as the minutes ticked down. Liverpool were peppering Illan Meslier but the Frenchman was standing firm and Leeds looked more than capable of holding out for a much-needed point.
