Jurgen Klopp admits Champions League fear for Liverpool as Jesse Marsh savours rare Leeds win

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch hailed his side's resolve and belief after their dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool, adding that it had been "necessary to stop the bleeding".

The visitors took the lead in the fourth minute of a frenetic first half as they capitalised on a mix-up between Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker, with Rodrigo tapping in, before Mohamed Salah's 14th-minute finish drew things level again.

Brenden Aaronson almost put Leeds back in front soon after, volleying against the bar, and they subsequently looked set to secure a point after Illan Meslier made a number of fine saves in the second half.

Crysencio Summerville then struck an 89th-minute winner to give the Yorkshire outfit their first victory in nine Premier League games, ending a four-match losing streak, as they moved out of the relegation zone, up to 15th place.

Marsch said: "We talked that last week when it was close with Fulham (a 3-2 home loss) that we were more waiting to lose than pushing to win, and I think the best part was that you saw real resolve at 1-1.

"We needed Illan to make some big saves, but I think the mentality to push, to stay in the match and to see if we could find a way to, regardless, walk away with one (point), (or) get three, was really strong and showed resolve and belief in the team.

"It was necessary to stop the bleeding, really important for us, and I’m happy for our guys.

"We have to use this to launch ourselves. It makes for me next weekend (when Leeds host Bournemouth) really important back at Elland Road.

"I think we should have never been in this situation, because I think we’ve been playing well and just not getting points. But, whatever, we’ve tried to maximise it, stay strong, stay calm and keep pushing."
