Liverpool win Leeds after Mohamed Salah hat-trick at Anfield

It was a 60th consecutive home league game unbeaten for Jürgen Klopp’s team, who kicked off their defence of the title in dramatic fashion.

The reds escaped after Mohamed Salah's hat-trick Liverpool to start the new Premier League season with a 4-3 win against the newly-promoted Leeds at Anfield.

Five of the goals came during the first half:- Salah(2) and Virgil van Dijk – sandwiching responses by Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford.

Mateusz Klich restored parity for a third time after the break, but the hosts won a second penalty of the game with two minutes remaining and Salah guided it home to ensure a hard-fought victory on the opening day.
