LONDON, Jan 2 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Liverpool's winning run was brought to a grinding halt as Leeds claimed their first clean sheet since August with the new year bringing more frustration for Arne Slot's side, reported PA Media/dpa.
Counterpart Daniel Farke opted for pragmatism in regards to the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin by dropping his in-form striker to the bench but it was his five-man defence who made the difference in a goalless draw at Anfield.
When the former Everton striker did arrive as a substitute he thought he had scored the winner with his first goal at the ground only to be denied by an offside flag.
A draw, their second in less than a month against Liverpool, extended their unbeaten run to six matches but it was felt more keenly by the hosts who could have reduced the gap to third-placed Aston Villa to four points.
