Liverpool crush Leeds United 6-1 in their Premier League clash at Elland Road to end their four-match winless run. Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah fired the visitors 2-0 in front at the break, but a mistake by Ibrahima Konate allowed Leeds back into the game through Luis Sinisterra. Diogo Jota restored Liverpool's two-goal advantage before the Reds capitalised on woeful defending to run away with the game. Salah and Jota notched their second goal each before Darwin Nunez added a sixth in the dying minutes. Jurgen Klopp and his team will now eye a run towards the top six in their remaining matches, while Leeds look in grave peril after conceding 11 goals in their last two home matches.
