Leeds finish USA tour with fine comeback win over Liverpool
- Published
Leeds concluded their three-match pre-season tour of the USA with an impressive 4-2 comeback win over Liverpool in Chicago.
The Reds dominated the first-half, with Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz impressing on their respective returns from their post-World Cup holidays.
Liverpool defender Luke Chambers - who spent last season on loan at Charlton - put Andoni Iraola's side in front, before Wirtz doubled the scoring by finishing off a fine team move.
However, Leeds rallied after the break with the introduction of senior figures Harry Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Brenden Aaronson proving the catalyst.
Daniel Farke's side blew Liverpool away with four goals inside 25 minutes, the first coming from Aaronson on the hour mark as he finished from a sharp Ethan Ampadu assist.
Calvert-Lewin then equalised 10 minutes later with a header after an Ampadu long throw caused chaos.
Just moments afterwards, Longstaff completed the turnaround by finishing from a fine Aaronson cut-back before some gloss was added to the scoreline late on with another powerful Calvert-Lewin header.
