Let’s do it

Leeds turn it around after the break

Brenden Aaronson pulled one back on the hour. Dominic Calvert-Lewin then struck twice, in the 71st and 85th minutes, and Sean Longstaff added a fourth in between. Leeds scored two of the goals directly from long throws.

The set-piece lapses will bother Andoni Iraola most. Preseason exists to sand down exactly those edges, and Liverpool head into the new campaign with defending to sharpen.

Tour ends on a low

Friendlies settle nothing, but the shape of this one lingers. Liverpool created enough to win comfortably and instead conceded four. Leeds fly home with momentum.
