Leeds 1-1 Liverpool: Leeds United Twitter admin calls Liverpool "European Super League side Merseyside Reds" after Diego Llorente scored a late equali
Leeds United Twitter admin calls Liverpool "European Super League side Merseyside Reds" after Diego Llorente scored a late equaliser to draw in the Premier League.
The Reds are part of the 12 clubs who agreed to the breakaway European Super League.
The new tournament is to "commence as soon as practicable". But UEFA has said it could ban the clubs involved in European competition for their betrayal.
There was a protest by Leeds United fans outside Elland Road before the match in which a Liverpool shirt was burned and a plane flew over the stadium showing a message that is against the Super League.

There was also a banner with the same message behind one of the goalposts.
Leeds also put some shirts in Liverpool's dressing room, in case they wanted to protest but Jurgen Klopp was angry at them and said he does not like the idea of the European Super League but he and his players can't do anything about it.
Liverpool looked sharper and dominated the first half, Diogo Jota's brilliant pass found Alexander-Arnold who squared to Sadio Mane for an easy tap in after Illan Meslier was found in no man's land.
That was Mane's first Premier League goal in 10 games.
Leeds got better in the second half and Patrick Bamford hit the crossbar before Llorente scored his first goal for the club with a header to stop Liverpool from going into the Premier League top four.
After the match, Leeds United Twitter admin trolled Liverpool calling them the "Super League side Merseyside Reds" as some Leeds players also made their displeasure known with Twitter posts as well.
