October 29, (THEWILL) – Leeds United crafted an unexpected 2-1 victory at Anfield on Saturday courtesy of Crysencio Summerville’s dramatic 89th-minute winner which handed Liverpool its second straight English Premier League loss of the season.

Last Saturday, bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest defeated Jurgen Klopp’s side, and Summerville’s late goal marks the first time since March 2012 that the Reds have dropped consecutive matches to a team in the relegation zone.

Joe Gomez gave Rodrigo Moreno the advantage early on, but it did not take long for Mohamed Salah to get Liverpool back into the game via an Andy Robertson assist.

Even though Leeds and Jesse Marsch were under fire, the Reds were still in control of the game in the second half. However, they were unable to overcome the excellent Illan Meslier, and Summerville, who was celebrating his 21st birthday, prodded home the game’s winning goal in the 89th minute.

The next match for Liverpool is on Tuesday against Napoli at home in the UEFA Champions League where they have fared slightly better. For Leeds, they welcome Bournemouth to Elland Road next Saturday in EPL, hoping to continue on a winning note.
