Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to question Liverpool's mentality after the team twice surrendered a lead to draw at relegation-threatened Leeds.
Leeds went into the game off the back of an encouraging performance against Manchester City and a stirring 3-1 win over Chelsea, but Liverpool put itself in a great position to win the game when Hugo Ekitike scored a quickfire brace at the start of the second half.
Liverpool led 2-0 until the 73rd minute, but by the 75th minute it was 2-2, and although Szoboszlai soon put the visitors back into the lead, Leeds was not to be denied a point, as Ao Tanaka scored in the 95th minute to spark pandemonium in the stands

Szoboszlai suggested that Liverpool made the mistake of thinking the game was won after Ekitike's brace.
"I don't know what happened after 2-0. I think we thought the game was over," a dejected Szoboszlai told Sky Sports after Liverpool spurned the chance to go into the top five.
"We said at the beginning of the game that this was the kind of game where you can never underestimate the team you play against.
"Maybe after the penalty, they just had their momentum to make it 2-2. We came back, so it was a good reaction from the team, but conceding again from a set-piece is not a nice way.
Asked about the feeling in the dressing room after another disappointing result, Szoboszlai said: "What is in the dressing room, stays in the dressing room. We have to manage it, we have to find solutions.
"There are times when you have to look at yourselves, just think and ask yourself if you did everything possible. If the answer is yes, then keep going and the momentum will come."
Meanwhile, Sky co-commentator Gary Neville said that Liverpool simply cannot be trusted at the moment to not make mistakes in games.
