    That second was the crucial blow for Liverpool. There is daylight now between them and Leeds and they have also turned down the volume another notch in the stadium.

    It's the Liverpool fans doing all the fervent singing now. It is going to take something special for Leeds to turn the tide, and finishing of the kind Tyler Roberts has just served up isn't it.

    Leeds finishing has been wayward, as Dion said earlier.

    Another chance falls sub Tyler Roberts' way but he side-foots wide from inside the area.

    That was poor.

    Fabinho has been absolutely fantastic today, and the movement from Liverpool has surprised Leeds. It shouldn't have done.

    Another very good outswinging corner from Alexander-Arnold, right onto the head of van Dijk. It bobbles about, then Fabinho puts his laces through it. Leeds have got to make sure they close the back door.

    No, the missed chances will not prove costly.

    Liverpool double their lead after Leeds fail to clear a corner.

    Virgil van Dijk has the initial header, Fabinho mis-kicks the first time but has a second bite at it, smashing home from six yards out.

    VAR is checking to see if Sadio Mane is offside, but the goal is given.

    How has it not gone in????

    Liverpool break through Sadio Mane and cannot get a shot away.

    It falls for Mohamed Salah with an open but Pascal Struijk stretches out a foot to divert it wide.

    Will Liverpool's numerous missed chances prove costly?

    Leeds have got everything but finishing right, in terms of application. Liverpool got theirs right.

    A.R.P: So we’re all going to hang on for dear life to close this out 1-0 right? And then we’ll get praised for ‘game management’.

    Liverpool are just edging it. If it was a percentage score it would be 55-45. Liverpool have been outstanding in the final third, Leeds haven't. That little bit of quality has just shone.

    Leeds 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 91 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W82, D9) dating back to 4 December 2016 against Bournemouth.

    Let's be honest, Liverpool should really be out of sight by now. They've had the chances to be three or four up. But the fact it is still only 1-0, and Leeds have created at least two very decent chances of their own, means there is life in this yet.

    And everyone in here knows it.

    Every contested ball is being screamed for, every tackle cheered and every Liverpool hitting the deck booed vociferously as a dive.

    It's a cracking game.

    Lucky Cooper, there. His arm comes across Mane's chest, Mane goes to ground but his touch doesn't quite work.

    You have to ask how it's only 1-0?!

    Leeds should have scored two, Liverpool could have got six or seven.
