Liverpool legend Graeme Souness hailed Leeds United's performance for their opening day defeat at Liverpool.

Leeds battled bravely at Anfield and ended up losing 4-3 in a hugely entertaining encounter.

Souness was impressed with the way in which Leeds operated and described their performance as 'incredible'.

He said: "Liverpool weren't allowed to be at their best, Leeds hunted them down for the largest part of the game. Liverpool usually do that to teams that come here.

"Tonight Leeds had more possession at Anfield than Liverpool. I don't think I've ever seen a team do that to this Liverpool team. Incredible performance, but they've got nothing to show for it."
