Mohamed Salah scored two penalties as part of a hat trick as Liverpool overcame three blown leads in a 4-3 win over Leeds United at Anfield on Saturday.
Sloppy defense from both teams and an opportune Leeds United attack led to a thrilling 3-3 draw between Liverpool and their newly-promoted visitors on Saturday at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah scored his 95th, 96th, and 97t Liverpool goals, while Virgil van Dijk scored, too, but Leeds scored on three of its five shots as it was 3-3 until the 88th minute. That’s when Rodrigo fouled Fabinho in the box for the Reds’ second penalty.
Former NYCFC star Jack Harrison scored for Leeds as did Patrick Bamford as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk had dicey defensive moments in the first half hour. The Reds lost track of Mateusz Klich en route to Leeds’ third equalizer, a beautiful goal in its own right.
The Reds have not kept a clean sheet in seven-straight competitions between the Premier League and a Community Shield loss to Arsenal, but will be relieved to have the win.
Liverpool next faces Chelsea while Leeds hosts Fulham.
