(Video) Watch: Leeds United vs Liverpool 1-6 All Goals & Extended Highlights | Premier League – 2023
Two goals each from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota helped Liverpool demolished Leeds 6-1 at Elland Road.
The relegation-threatened hosts initially produced a robust reaction to last weekend’s 5-1 thrashing against Crystal Palace in their previous game, restricting Liverpool to scraps in the opening half-hour, but errors were gleefully pounced upon from that point.
Jurgen Klopp’s side went ahead from their first shot on target, with Cody Gakpo tapping home his fifth Premier League goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s low cross. Handball claims against the England full-back in the build-up went unpunished.
Salah then made it two goals inside four minutes, rifling brilliantly past Illan Meslier at his near post after Weston McKennie ceded possession and Jota drove Liverpool forward on the counter-attack.
Luis Sinisterra pounced on a dreadful mistake from Ibrahima Konate in the 47th minute but fresh hope was short-lived for Javi Gracia’s side when Curtis Jones played in Jota to make it 3-1 with his first goal for a year.
Salah was then teed up by Gakpo for his 15th Premier League goal of the season after Andy Robertson stormed down the left flank and there were boos from the home faithful when Jota rammed home the fifth.
Substitute Darwin Nunez completed the rout when he sprung the Leeds offside trap to dispatch Alexander-Arnold’s chipped pass
