Football: Late Llorente header earns Leeds draw with Liverpool

LEEDS, England: An 87th-minute header from defender Diego Llorente gave Leeds United a 1-1 home draw with Liverpool in the Premier League on Monday after the home side staged a protest against the breakaway Super League prior to the kickoff.

The result left Liverpool sixth on 53 points from 32 games, one behind fifth-placed Chelsea who have a game in hand and two adrift of West Ham United in fourth. Leeds stayed 10th on 46 points."There were periods when one dominated the other," he told the BBC."Perhaps in the second half when we were losing we had more continuity when we were searching for the equaliser."We kept on being dangerous even though the opponent was defending close to their goal.

"It is disappointing of course but we cannot say it was not deserved for Leeds," he said."We had big chances in the first half but didn't use those.
