Ideozu-Frank Sampson: Leeds going toe to toe here. Could easily end 5-5 if it continues like this!
Damian Fogarty: The term 5 goal thriller usually used after 90 minutes not 30. Great game if defending not your thing.
Wayne Ellis: Not sure what’s happened to Van Dijk recently? His level of play, defensively at least, has dropped off considerably

Could be a sixth? No.
Sadio Mane's shot from inside the area is blocked.
Leeds get away with one.

Liverpool have been dodgy defensively since the turn of the year.They could do with signing a quality centre back to get some competition for places going.

My very first Liverpool game as a 10 year old was Liverpool 0-1 Leeds on Sun 9 April 1995. I think I'm right in saying that was the only home league game we lost all season. Needless to say was distraught! Hoping for better today!

BBC Sport chief football writer at AnfieldWhat a game of football this is - unless you like good defending. There has not been much of that but there have also been some great finishes.
We'll all need a lie down at half-time.

Mohamed Salah
What is going on????
Liverpool are back in front!!
Andrew Robertson knocks in a cross which Leeds defender Pascal Struijk heads away.
It is not the best of clearances, falling to the feet of Mohamed Salah 12 yards out.
The Egyptian takes a touch and laces a thunderous finish, via the crossbar, into the net.
The sound it made when the ball went in was so satisfying.

Patrick Bamford
Best defender in the world, they said.
He may have scored at one end, but Virgil van Dijk has made a horrible error to gift Leeds another equaliser.
Jack Harrison lobs a long, hopeful pass forward, Alisson comes and stop and comes again.
By this time, Van Dijk sticks his leg out at the ball but cannot get enough purchase on it, presenting it straight to Patrick Bamford.
The Leeds striker sets himself and rolls a cool finish past the Brazilian goalkeeper and into the far corner.

A good run down the left from Helder Costa, Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson chasing cannot catch him but the Portuguese midfielder's low cross is straight at Alisson.

He has bailed him out here.
Illan Meslier makes a stunning reflex save to tip over team-mate Pascal Struijk's deflection from Andrew Robertson's cross.
It was looping in but Meslier reacted brilliantly.

Liverpool 2-1 Leeds
Virgil van Dijk has scored his 10th Premier League goal for Liverpool - more than any other centre back in the competition since his club debut in January 2018. Each of his last nine such goals have been headed.
CLOSE!published at 25 mins
Liverpool 2-1 Leeds
Liverpool are finding pockets of spaces in front of the Leeds defence.
Skipper Jordan Henderson forays forward but his thumping, long range strike is straight down Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier's throat.

John Dunthorne: Love these games where nobody is allowed to defend!
Martin Ellis: Leeds are gonna have some exciting games… One end or another the goals are gonna be going in.
Trent and Gomez are Liverpool's weak link defensively speaking and have been so poor since Xmas.

Virgil van Dijk
Liverpool back in front!
It is too easy for the Reds, Andrew Robertson whips in the corner and Virgil van Dijk leaps highest to plant in the header.
Illan Meslier gets a hand to it but cannot keep the ball out of the net and the Dutchman wheels away in delight...not that you can tell by the look on his face.
