LEEDS, England, Dec 6 : Leeds United's Ao Tanaka scored deep into stoppage time to earn his side a thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday, rifling home from a corner at the back post to salvage a valuable point after a frenetic fightback.

It was another disappointing day for the reigning champions, who should have coasted to victory but for the defensive frailties that exposed them late on.

In the first half, Curtis Jones curled a brilliant shot that smacked off the crossbar and captain Virgil van Dijk flashed a header over the bar in the 27th minute but, other than that, Liverpool were sluggish.

That was quickly forgotten shortly after halftime as Joe Rodon's ill-judged pass was snapped up by Hugo Ekitike to score.
