Liverpool beat Leeds 4-3 in thrilling start to premier league title defence
LIVERPOOL (AFP) - Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick as Liverpool saw off three fightbacks from Leeds to begin their defence of the Premier League with a thrilling 4-3 win at Anfield.
Leeds return to the English top-flight under Marcelo Bielsa after a 16-year absence was highly anticipated and a clash against the reigning champions lived up to expectations as three times they equalised through Jack Harrison, Patrick Bamford and Mateusz Klich to cancel out Salah s first-half double and Virgil van Dijk s header.
However, Salah s second penalty of the game two minutes from time ensured Liverpool got off to a winning start.
