In a stunning turn of events, Leeds United's Ao Tanaka scored a stoppage-time equalizer to salvage a 3-3 draw against Liverpool in their Premier League clash on Saturday. The dramatic finish capped off a frenetic match that saw the reigning champions Liverpool struggle to maintain their lead. Liverpool had a relatively sluggish start to the game, with Curtis Jones's impressive shot hitting the crossbar and Virgil Van Dijk's header narrowly missing the target. However, they quickly regained their composure after the break, with Hugo Ekitike scoring two goals in quick succession to put Leeds on the back foot. But Leeds refused to give up, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin's penalty and Anton Stach's well-worked goal drawing them level. The momentum shifted in Liverpool's favor when Dominik Szoboszlai scored a coolly taken goal in the 80th minute. However, Leeds continued to press, and their persistence paid off as Tanaka scored the equalizer from a corner six minutes into stoppage time. The draw sees Liverpool remain in eighth place with 23 points, while Leeds move up to 16th spot with 15 points from their 15 games so far. The result is a welcome boost for Leeds in their battle to avoid relegation.
