Liverpool suffered a dramatic collapse in Chicago as Leeds United overturned a two-goal half-time deficit to claim an impressive 4-2 victory at Soldier Field, exposing the Reds' defensive frailties after the interval.The Merseyside club controlled the opening 45 minutes and deservedly went into the break with a comfortable advantage. Luke Chambers broke the deadlock early on by converting after Kerkez had flicked on a corner from Szoboszlai, before Florian Wirtz doubled the lead just before half-time, finishing off a superb move sparked by Trey Nyoni’s brilliant cross-field pass and Frimpong’s assist.🚨⚽ GOAL!
