Liverpool took the lead twice, but in the end, were forced to settle for a share of the points versus Leeds United
The major talking point going into the match was the fact that Arne Slot benched Mohamed Salah yet again.
To the Dutchman’s credit, despite his interesting team selection, the Reds actually looked pretty decent for the first 60 minutes or so.
Hugo Ekitike scored a brace, taking his goal tally for the season up to eight, while Curtis Jones shone in place of Alexis Mac Allister.

In the end, however, Liverpool drew 3-3 with Leeds United, and the pressure on Slot remains.
Arne Slot fails to meet Jamie Carragher target
As per Sky Sports News, Jamie Carragher told the Dutchman he needed seven points from three games to keep his job.
Liverpool started the week with a big 2-0 win over West Ham before drawing with Sunderland on Wednesday.
It meant they had to beat Leeds in order for Slot to match Carragher’s target, which they did not.
Sky Sports’ Zinny Boswell said: “Jamie Carragher told Arne Slot he needed seven points from his next three games to save his job at Liverpool just over a week ago. Unless they can score a late winner here, Slot will have failed to meet that target.”

Who could Liverpool replace Arne Slot with?
Liverpool fans want Oliver Glasner to make the move to Anfield if and when Slot departs.
However, there have been conflicting reports over the Austrian, with one recently suggesting that Glasner becoming manager is unlikely.
Elsewhere, Xabi Alonso has been linked amid potential issues in his current role at Real Madrid.
Liverpool would need to pay around £15m to sack Slot, RTK have been told. But that sum could easily be made back by them climbing the Premier League table and qualifying for the Champions League.
