Leeds and Liverpool drew 3-3 with all six goals coming after the break and in dramatic fashion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the first 45 minutes were anything to go by, it looked like this game wasn’t going to be much fun. The hosts had a strong start, taking the first three shots of the match and piling on pressure into the guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the Reds took control and dominated the rest of the first half. But neither team had anything to show for it, going into the break level at 0-0.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Joe Rodon’s error early on in the second half – which would be the first of many – made something click. Hugo Ekitike scored two goals within just over two minutes and looked to have won the game then and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, as quickly as Liverpool built their two-goal lead, they gave it away. A Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty and a tidy Anton Stach finish got the Whites back into the game. Dominik Szoboszlai thought he had won it just five minutes later, but Ao Tanaka scored a 96th-minute equaliser to make it 3-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
