- Virgil van Dijk sent a late header wide and Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a potential Leeds winner ruled offside.
- Liverpool controlled possession and shot volume but fashioned few clear chances against Leeds’ organised low block.
- Arne Slot said Ekitike stayed on his feet under pressure, noted Liverpool have only one league penalty this season, and reiterated he will not ask players to exaggerate contact.
