Graeme Souness' Leeds United verdict as he highlights running statistic that 'can't be right'

Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness has heaped praise on Leeds United for not playing like a side under pressure as they ended the Reds 29-game unbeaten run at Anfield. Jesse Marsch's side also ended their own winless run, with Crysencio Summerville scoring the winner in the dying embers of the game.

It was the perfect 21st birthday present for the Dutch youth international, ending Leeds' long awaited search for three points. "His second and third touch are almost in sync, he takes it so early the goalkeeper can’t set himself," Souness said on Sky Sports.

"Leeds were a team playing under pressure, they didn’t play like a young team tonight, they played like a team that believed in what they wanted to do believed they’d get a result. You can say a lucky first goal but that’s not the reason Liverpool lost the game, the mistake, they were a country mile from where they were, they don’t play with the same intensity.
