Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch hailed his side’s resolve and belief after their dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool as the pressure was eased on his position.

The visitors took the lead in the fourth minute of a frenetic first half as they capitalised on a mix-up between Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker, with Rodrigo tapping in, before Mohamed Salah’s 14th-minute finish drew things level again.

Brenden Aaronson almost put Leeds back in front soon after, volleying against the bar, and they subsequently looked set to secure a point after Illan Meslier made a number of fine saves in the second half. Crysencio Summerville then struck an 89th-minute winner to give the Yorkshire outfit their first victory in nine Premier League games, ending a four-match losing streak, as they moved out of the relegation zone, up to 15th place.

Marsch felt his side should never have been in the bottom three based on recent performances and was relieved that his side provided some much-needed points.

Marsch said: “I think we should have never been in this situation, because I think we’ve been playing well and just not getting points. But, whatever, we’ve tried to maximise it, stay strong, stay calm and keep pushing.”

The win has eased the pressure on the Leeds boss with Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl the favourite to become the next Premier League manager to leave.
