Liverpool Held 0-0 by Resolute Leeds in Goalless Anfield Stalemate

Liverpool and Leeds United played out a drab 0-0 draw at Anfield, extending both sides' unbeaten runs but leaving the home crowd frustrated. It was the first goalless draw of Arne Slot's reign, ending a run of 84 matches without such a result.

Leeds were resolute defensively, with Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk outstanding in nullifying Liverpool's attack. The visitors also had a goal disallowed when substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin was judged offside. Liverpool struggled to break down a compact Leeds unit, creating only half chances and drawing boos at the final whistle.

Slot was seen remonstrating with officials after the match, though no contentious decisions appeared to go against his side. The result leaves Liverpool in fourth place, three points clear of Chelsea and Manchester United, while Leeds move seven points clear of the relegation zone.
