Calvert-Lewin winner chalked off in gritty draw
Liverpool missed the chance to gain some distance over its fellow Premier League top-four hopefuls after being held to a 0-0 draw by Leeds United.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin looked to have struck the decisive blow at Anfield, but the offside flag denied Leeds all three points.
Liverpool dominated throughout the match, with Hugo Ekitike leading the charge in the first half; his tight-angled shot was spilled by Lucas Perri, who recovered well to block Florian Wirtz's follow-up.
Ethan Ampadu then fired straight at Alisson after the goalkeeper played a wayward pass into midfield, before Ekitike headed an effort away from the empty goal while two yards out.
After the break, Dominik Szoboszlai saw a long-range drive pushed away by Perri before his corner was thumped just wide by an unmarked Virgil van Dijk.
Leeds's patience almost paid off, as Calvert-Lewin dunked Sebastiaan Bornauw's flick over Alisson and into the net, but he had gone too early, and the visitor was unable to stun Liverpool without another late goal as it did in the reverse fixture at Elland Road last month.
