In a stunning turn of events, Leeds overcame a two-goal deficit to claim a 4-2 victory over Liverpool in the final match of their US tour. The first half belonged to Liverpool, with goals from Luke Chambers and Florian Wirtz, the latter scoring after a brilliant team move involving Trey Nyoni and Jeremie Frimpong. However, Leeds' introduction of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Harry Wilson at halftime proved pivotal, as they scored three goals in 13 minutes to take the lead.
Brenden Aaronson capitalized on a Milos Kerkez error to reduce the deficit, before Calvert-Lewin equalized from an Ethan Ampadu long throw. Sean Longstaff then completed the comeback with a scuffed finish, and Calvert-Lewin sealed the win with his second goal, a carbon copy of his first.
The match marked the end of the US tour for both teams, who now return to England to prepare for the upcoming season. Liverpool's collapse raised concerns, particularly regarding their vulnerability to set pieces, an issue that plagued them last season. Despite the loss, there were positives for Liverpool, with Wirtz and Nyoni impressing in their performances.
