James Milner: Fatigue cost us in the second half

James Milner believes fatigue cost Liverpool in the second half as they conceded a late equaliser during Monday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United.

Sadio Mane’s goal put the Reds in front at the break, with the visitors enjoying the better of the opening 45 minutes at Elland Road.

However, Marcelo Bielsa’s team came back into the contest after the interval and levelled through Diego Llorente in the 87th minute.

Milner was asked by Sky Sports whether the result feels like a ‘missed opportunity’ given Liverpool’s strong first-half performance and replied: “Yeah, it does. I think obviously when you come to a place like this with a team as good as them, you have to put in two good halves and we didn’t do that.
