Liverpool could only manage a 0-0 draw against Leeds United on New Year’s Day on Thursday, costing Arne Slot’s men valuable points in the Premier League title race.
Defending champions Liverpool are fourth in the standings with 33 points after 19 games, 12 behind leaders Arsenal, while Leeds are 16th with 21 points, seven above the relegation zone.
AS IT HAPPENED: LIV VS LEE HIGHLIGHTS
Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin briefly celebrated what he thought was the winning goal with around 10 minutes to play, but it was ruled out for offside. His goalless game ended a streak of goals in six consecutive games.
Liverpool lacked any sense of urgency and wasted a few good chances, the best of which was Hugo Ekitike’s header at the far post that went wide of the goal. Home goalkeeper Alisson Becker almost gifted Ethan Ampadu a goal with a terrible ball, but recovered to save the Welshman’s shot.
