Leeds rally for 4-2 friendly win over Liverpool
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scores twice as second-half goals seal a comeback win to hand Andoni Iraola his first defeat in charge.
Leeds United secured a 4-2 victory over Liverpool in a pre-season friendly at Soldier Field in Chicago, marking the English Premier League rivals' first defeat under new coach Andoni Iraola. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the hero, netting two of Leeds' goals as they staged a stunning comeback. Liverpool, who had notched two wins in their US tour opener, took the lead in the first half with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Luke Chambers.
However, Leeds equalized in the second half through Joe Rodon's assist for Calvert-Lewin. Sean Longstaff added a third goal for Leeds in the 73rd minute, before Calvert-Lewin sealed the win with a late header in the 85th minute. This victory marked Leeds' second win on their US tour, following a 3-2 defeat to Wrexham in Tampa and a 1-0 win over Sunderland in New Jersey.
