- RESULT: Leeds United (Struijk sent off) 0-3 Liverpool
LEEDS GO CLOSE
83. I’d say it’s a chance... but it wasn’t even that. Bamford from miles out. Near halfway. Just outside the centre circle. He takes a look up and shoots. Alisson has to tip over for a corner as he rushes back to his net. So close! That would’ve been quite the goal...
Liverpool offside
85. More pressure from the visitors. Leeds slide into clear and there’s a scramble in the box. The flag eventually goes up with the Red thinking they should have a corner ball.
Leeds attack
88. Roberts tries to bring Leeds forward but he;s crowded out. Liverpool race down the other end and win a corner through Mane.
Eight added minutes
90. Due to the huge stoppage for the horror Elliott injury there will be eight added minutes at Elland Road.
Liverpool in control
90+2. The Reds are just seeing this one out. They’re in complete control at Elland Road.
Liverpool add a third
90+3. And that’s all she wrote from this one, folks. Mane turns inside the box and has all the space in the world. He fires low past Meslier. Leeds fans heading for the exit, I’m afraid.
Liverpool in cruise control
90+5. The Reds are pinning Leeds in. Hard to get a kick if you’re in a white shirt right now...
FULL-TIME
10-man Leeds United beaten 3-0 by Liverpool today. United were outclassed at times, but the afternoon will be remembered for a horror injury to Harvey Elliott.
Fingers crossed he can bounceback quickly from what looked like a bad injury. Pascal Struijk received a red card, which will be of huge debate tonight.
Stay tuned for all the post-match reaction.
