"When the former Everton striker did arrive as a substitute he thought he had scored the winner with his first goal at the ground only to be denied by an offside flag. A draw, their second in less than a month against Liverpool, extended their unbeaten run to six matches but it was felt more keenly by the hosts who could have reduced the gap to third-placed Aston Villa to four points."
"Despite an encouraging performance by Jeremie Frimpong, playing in the Mohamed Salah role wide on the right, they lacked a cutting edge as, despite boasting the quick feet of fellow summer signing Florian Wirtz, they struggled to find a way to break down their organised opponents. One of the few positives for Slot, who dispensed with set-piece coach Aaron Briggs two days ago, was not conceding from a dead-ball situation for the third successive game but that was a small crumb of comfort."
Leeds claimed a goalless draw at Anfield, recording their first clean sheet since August and extending their unbeaten run to six matches. Daniel Farke left Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the bench and relied on a five-man defence to frustrate Liverpool. Calvert-Lewin entered as a substitute and had a goal ruled out for offside. Liverpool produced 18 shots to Leeds' four but struggled to break down an organised Leeds side despite Jeremie Frimpong's wide attacking role and Florian Wirtz's skill. Arne Slot's team avoided conceding from set pieces for a third straight game, offering limited consolation.
