Liverpool held to goalless draw by Leeds at Anfield

Liverpool’s three-match Premier League winning run ended with a 0–0 draw against Leeds United at Anfield on Thursday, a result that left them still occupying the final Champions League qualification place.

The hosts created chances but failed to score, with Hugo Ekitike missing a first-half header, Virgil van Dijk heading wide after the break, and Leeds narrowly denied a late winner when Dominic Calvert-Lewin was flagged offside after chipping Alisson Becker.

Liverpool recorded 19 shots and an expected goals figure of 1.96, their highest without scoring in a league match at Anfield since April 2024, and played out their first goalless draw in 117 games across all competitions.
