Crysencio Summerville has just scored a last-minute winner for Leeds United at Anfield.

The struggling Whites have secured a truly massive 2-1 victory away to Liverpool to breathe new life into their season.

This is Leeds’ first Premier League victory since hammering Chelsea 3-0 way back in August.

Summerville prodded home a late winner beyond Alisson after Thiago and Virgil van Dijk failed to clear the danger.

Here’s how Noel Whelan, a Leeds legend, reacted to the win on Twitter:

United owe so much of the victory to goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

The 22-year-old Frenchman got the clash off to a shocker following a communication breakdown with Liam Cooper inside 60 seconds.

But Meslier went on to produce a number of stunning saves to keep out Darwin Nunez among others at Anfield.

Consequence of this victory, Jesse Marsch’s troops are now out of the relegation zone.

Leeds now sit 15th in the Premier League table on 12 points, one clear of the bottom three.

If the Whites play like this for the rest of the season then relegation will be of zero concern.

Question is, can Leeds replicate displays like this in games they should be winning? Time will tell.
