Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has given Leeds United 'top marks' for their performance at Anfield last weekend. The Whites ended their dismal run of form in the Premier League with a surprise win against Jurgen Klopp's side.
The win propelled Jesse Marsch's side out of the relegation zone and alleviated any short-term pressure on the American head coach with an important three points. Rodrigo was handed a gift with his opening goal, latching onto a poor Joe Gomez back pass, before Mo Salah levelled shortly after.
Crysencio Summerville stole the headlines for grabbing a last gasp winner on the road, repaying Marsch's faith in the Dutch youth international.. Keys says that Leeds showed if you can rattle Liverpool's cage, then you can come away with the points.

“Top marks to Leeds, who went to Anfield with a bit of devil in them and got their reward,” Keys said in his weekly blog.
“In the position they were in you’d have forgiven them for doing a ‘Leicester’ on Liverpool – but not a bit of it. They proved that if you rattle the cages of the big boys you can unsettle them.”
