Phenomenal Meslier and 'fantastic' Leeds United hailed by delighted supporters after Liverpool win

Leeds United fans are celebrating after Crysencio Summerville's 89th minute winner gave Jesse Marsch's side a much-needed 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

Goals for Leeds bookended the game, with the visitors taking the lead through Rodrigo after just four minutes. A Joe Gomez howler gifted the Brazilian his sixth goal of the season.

Mo Salah equalised for Liverpool ten minutes later, but Illan Meslier was not to be beaten again despite the home side's numerous attemps. The game looked to be heading to a draw until the final moments when Summerville tapped Patrick Bamford's pass into Alisson's net.

It's a first win in nine attempts for Jesse Marsch - who was recently told he had two games to save his job. The Whites have climbed out of the relegation places with this win and have climbed four places to 15th.

Leeds fans were understandably overjoyed by the result. Simmi summed up many fans thoughts, saying: "Illan Meslier take a bow. Absolutely phenomenal today my word"

James said: "Marsch is better than Bielsa." Atif added: "WE FINALLY WIN A GAME OF FOOTBALL"

Damien Cummins said: "Fantastic team performance to dig in and get three points after the recent run of results. Summerville was full of energy and running for the whole game and what a finish for the winner.

"A big performance from Meslier too with some fantastic saves. A turning point in the season."
