The noose around Jesse Marsch's neck loosened, as Crysencio Summerville's 89th minute strike destroyed Liverpool's impressive home record, sending 3,000 jubilant Leeds fans into ecstasy in the process.

A mauling seemed to be on the cards, when just 37 seconds in, Cooper headed past his own keeper. Fortunately, Struijk's goal line clearance (from Salah's resulting effort) spared Leeds blushes. Minutes later though, the Whites went ahead. Gomez intercepted Arronson's surging run down the left flank, and passed back to his keeper to clear. Unfortunately (for him), the ball was loose, and rolled across the six yard box for Rodrigo to grab his sixth of the season.

Leeds slender lead would only last ten minutes. Leeds failed to clear Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross, and when Robertson hooked the ball back into the danger zone, Salah made it look easy from close distance. Leeds more than held their own during the remainder of the first half. Arronson rocked the woodwork from Kristensen's cross, whilst Alisson did well to deny Harrison.

The hosts should have taken the lead early in the second half. Cooper's air kick gave Salah a one on one chance with Meslier, but opted to pass to Nunez. Fortunately, the Leeds shot stopper pulled off a blinding save. Meslier continued to pull off save after save, as Liverpool ramped up the pressure; but Leeds last line of defence was in spectacular form.

Just as it looked like Leeds had secured a well deserved point, Leeds delivered a deadly blow. Gnonto's low cross was picked up on the edge of the penalty area by Bamford. He squeezed the ball to Summerville, who turned, and stabbed the ball under the despairing dive of Alisson to give Leeds their first victory since 21 August when they beat Chelsea 3-0.

True

But I'm confident we would have got a better manager than Marsch regardless

Not if those 3 points keep us , keep the faith.

I said at the time the replacement won't be any better.

Quality manager probably takes the job and brings in there players and we aren't in this situation :(
