Leeds fans made fools of themselves at Anfield and proved they are a small team

Having arrived in the role of victim and driven Liverpool to the brink of despair in the 80th minute with the game level at one goal, the Leeds United fans were overly effusive and animated with the outcome of the game, and even more so when James Milner entered the pitch to relieve team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold in defence.

Although the opposition supporters were in the minority, the chants went up as Milner entered the pitch, reminding the England midfielder of his past with the club as they were the ones who gave him the opportunity to make his debut on the English circuit in the 2002-2003 season and give him a starting place for the following campaign, with the chants of "You're Leeds and you know you are" ringing out from the stands.

Over time, James Milner has become a benchmark for Liverpool, inflicting damage on his former club by scoring goals on more than one occasion in the red jersey, but now, this team was more optimistic about the result as they took advantage of their opponents' poor form throughout the season, closing the party in the best possible way for Leeds by scoring the winner in the 90th minute to lift them out of second-bottom spot in the table.

For the second game in a row, the team coached by Jurgen Klopp dropped points against an opponent that in theory did not pose a real challenge, adding Liverpool's second consecutive defeat and losing only one position in the overall standings, a situation that generated the discontent of the fans at Anfield and the joy of the rivals with the scenario in their favour.

<strong>Milner was picked on</strong>

In this loop of bad games in the Premier League and excellent results in the Champions League, Liverpool must put the bitter defeat to Leeds United behind them, concentrating now on facing Napoli and at least clearing their name after that first day defeat, with only a couple of games left in the English league before the international break for the World Cup, with the break serving to prevent these situations from happening once they return to boxing day in December.
