LEEDS UNITED 0 LIVERPOOL 2 "Liverpool FC - The Retro Series" #lfc #liverpoolfc

"Reds up to 4th after comprehensive victory at Elland Road"

The first half in particular was rightly described as “sterile” as the ten minute highlights package shows just two (two!) attempts on goal, and both from the visiting reds of Liverpool. As a Leeds attack petered out, Liverpool demonstrated their quick fire attacking prowess for the first of several occasions as Sammy Lee broke through the Leeds midfield at pace before releasing Kenny Dalglish who’s immediate cross field pass found Ronnie Whelan bearing down on the hosts goal. A rushed shot didn’t particularly test the Leeds United goalkeeper John Lukic but minutes later, the Reds grabbed a precious lead just before half-time.

GOAL! Leeds United 0 Liverpool 1 (Graeme Souness 40 minutes)

“Here’s Souness. He’ll surely have a crack. And get it right!”

Finally football broke out on 40 minutes as the Reds swept from defence into attack, pivoted around the eventual goal scorer before cycling it, if a little fortuitously, back into his goal scoring path. But the move deserved a goal. Alan Kennedy turned defence into attack aided and abetted by a Kenny Dalglish pass to his Scotland roommate and eventual goal scorer Graeme Souness who stretched the play from the centre of midfield to Ian Rush on the left side of the Leeds United penalty area. Rush’s intended pass infield was to Sammy Lee who mis-controlled the intended pass but instead set up a perfect long range shooting chance for his skipper. As was Souness’ beautiful trait, he drilled a low hard shot fizzing past John Lukic, and perfectly into the side netting and bottom corner of his goal.
