Crysencio Summerville’s late goal saw Leeds claim a dramatic win at Liverpool to ease the pressure on head coach Jesse Marsch and inflict another damaging defeat on their hosts.
first away Premier League win of the campaign was enough to move Leeds out of the bottom three, Summerville’s 89th-minute strike snatching a 2-1 victory after Mohamed Salah had canceled out Rodrigo’s opener.
Marsch’s position had come under the spotlight following a run of eight league games without a win but it is Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp who has questions to answer, this loss coming on the back of defeat at bottom club Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Earlier in the day, Chelsea head coach Graham Potter endured a galling return to former club Brighton as the Seagulls picked up a 4-1 victory.
Potter left the south coast to take charge at Stamford Bridge and had overseen a nine-match unbeaten streak with his new employers.
But that run came to an abrupt halt as Leandro Trossard’s early opener was followed by own goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah to make it 3-0 at half-time.
Kai Havertz headed Conor Gallagher’s cross early in the second half, but Pascal Gross made it 4-1 late on.
