LEEDS United rocked Liverpool with a stoppage-time equaliser from Ao Tanaka to cap a thrilling six-goal second half at Elland Road.
The hosts had earlier come from two goals down to level, before Dominik Szoboszlai looked to have given Liverpool a valuable three points.
But Japanese midfielder Tanaka came off the bench and scored in the sixth added minute, sparking jubilant scenes among the home support.
Following a woeful run of nine defeats in 12 games, Arne Slot’s Liverpool are now unbeaten in three, but they threw away victory on a day where once again Mohamed Salah watched on from the bench.
After a goalless first 45 minutes, Hugo Ekitike scored two goals in three minutes to put Liverpool in control.
They looked to have a firm grip but gave Leeds a way back into the game when Ibrahima Konate fouled Wilfried Gnonto in the box.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck from the penalty spot for Daniel Farke’s side before Anton Stach fired an equaliser in the 75th minute.
Leeds may have sensed the game was there for the taking, but Szoboszlai finished in style five minutes later.
Yet, there was one last twist, and it came when Tanaka blasted in at the far post from a Leeds corner deep into stoppage time.
The draw for Leeds pushes them up to 16th in the Premier League, three points clear of West Ham in 18th, while Liverpool sit eighth. (BBC Sport)
