Liverpool have made a fool of themselves again in the English Premier League. The team coached by Jürgen Klopp lost 2-1 (1-1) in their own stadium to Leeds United, who were penultimate in the table, on Saturday evening. "The result is very modest," said Klopp on Sky. A week ago, Liverpool lost to bottom-placed Nottingham Forest.

The Reds are now ninth on 16 points, ten adrift of champions and leaders Manchester City. The champions can still be overtaken by Arsenal on Sunday. "We should all just play football better. We have to work on that," said the 55-year-old about his team's current situation.

Shortly before the end, Crysencio Summerville (89th) scored the winning goal for the team of former Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch. After beating Ajax Amsterdam 3-0 in the Champions League, the Klopp team failed to start the game against the penultimate table. Rodrigo (4th) ensured the quick lead of the guests. When Mohamed Salah (14th) managed to equalize, Liverpool seemed to be able to live up to their role as favorites. But France's Illan Meslier in the Leeds goal kept sending the Reds forwards to despair.
