Leeds United inflicted Liverpool's first pre-season defeat under new head coach Andoni Iraola, staging a convincing comeback from 2-0 down at half-time to win 4-2 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin (twice), Brenden Aaronson, and Sean Longstaff secured the victory for Daniel Farke's side.
Sánchez plays long game for McFarlane, Southampton can take heart, Arteta tries to gain edge and Isak will come good One moment from their FA Cup semi-final to Chelsea will haunt Leeds.
