Klopp: You cannot defend the way we did Marsch hails Leeds unity

Jurgen Klopp bemoaned Liverpool’s defending for Leeds’ winning goal and their general lack of control as they slumped to a 2-1 loss at Anfield.

Liverpool were condemned to a second consecutive Premier League defeat when Crysencio Summerville latched onto a loose ball and fired a low finish into the bottom corner in the 89th minute.

Earlier, a defensive mix-up had allowed Rodrigo to put Leeds in front, with Mohamed Salah scoring Liverpool’s equaliser before a string of outstanding saves from visiting goalkeeper Illan Meslier allowed Summerville to clinch Leeds a memorable victory.

The result leaves Klopp’s side in ninth place in the Premier League, 13 points behind Manchester City and, even more worryingly, eight points behind fourth-placed Newcastle.

“A setback, absolutely,” Klopp told Sky Sports afterwards. “I thought we had a really good start to the game then we conceded a freakish goal.
