Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds show no compromise in Liverpool thriller

"We are not going to lie down," Marcelo Bielsa told Sky Sports. "It is not a question of vanity. It is just a question of conviction in our style of play. It is the only way I know."

It would be easy to summarise the subsequent 4-3 defeat at Liverpool as Leeds United's introduction to the harsh realities of the Premier League. But after such a rousing display from the newly-promoted side, this felt more like the Premier League's introduction to Bielsa.

Three times they fell behind and three times they equalised. Only Mohamed Salah's hat-trick goal, his second penalty of the match, scored with just minutes remaining, proved too much.

Still, it was the verve of the performance, their approach to the challenge before them, that stood out.
