Leeds United beat Liverpool 4-2 after dramatic second-half comeback
Leeds United produced a spectacular second-half comeback to beat Liverpool 4-2 in the final match of their pre-season tour in Chicago.
Andoni Iraola’s side appeared in complete control at Soldier Field after establishing a commanding two-goal lead by half-time.
Luke Chambers opened the scoring early on before Florian Wirtz doubled the advantage following a sweeping team move.
However, the introduction of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Harry Wilson at the interval dramatically shifted the momentum in favour of the Yorkshire club.
Second-half collapse stuns Merseysiders
The fightback began when Brenden Aaronson capitalised on a costly defensive error from Milos Kerkez to reduce the deficit on the hour mark.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin then levelled the contest by heading home an Ethan Ampadu long throw at the back post.
Just two minutes later, Sean Longstaff scrambled the ball past Giorgi Mamardashvili to complete a stunning 13-minute turnaround.
The experienced Calvert-Lewin sealed the victory in the dying moments with a near-identical header from another dangerous Ampadu delivery.
Final preparations loom ahead of new campaign
The chaotic defeat concludes the United States tour for the Anfield outfit as they head back to Europe.
Iraola will undoubtedly be concerned by these defensive vulnerabilities with the new Premier League campaign now less than three weeks away.
Conversely, Leeds return to England with a significant confidence boost ahead of their respective season opener.
