Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was left frustrated after the team\u2019s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, hinting that some of his teammates believed the game was already won when they went 2-0 up.<\/p>\n
Hugo Ekitike struck twice within two minutes early in the second half to hand Liverpool what should have been a comfortable advantage at Elland Road.<\/p>\n
But Leeds fought back to level at 2-2. Szoboszlai restored Liverpool\u2019s lead with a well-taken goal, only for the home side to equalise again in stoppage time and snatch a point.<\/p>\n
What Szoboszlai said after Leeds 3-3 Liverpool<\/p>\n
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Szoboszlai didn\u2019t hide his disappointment, suggesting the team eased off too early.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what happened,\u201d the Hungarian said. \u201cAt 2-0, I think we felt like the game was already done.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can never underestimate the team you\u2019re playing against.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe after the penalty they gained momentum \u2026 we reacted well to go ahead again, but conceding another set-piece goal is far from ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s season takes another hit<\/p>\n
The draw leaves Liverpool in 8th place, ten points behind league leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot\u2019s side have now conceded 24 goals in 15 Premier League matches\u2014more than 15th-placed Fulham and only one fewer than relegation-battling Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
While they are unbeaten in three, it\u2019s still just two consecutive draws and only one win from their last six matches.<\/p>\n
Liverpool now face Inter Milan away in the Champions League, followed by league games against Brighton at home and Tottenham away before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Can Slot steady the ship? Do you think he keeps his job much longer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
