Liverpool 4-3 Leeds: Jurgen Klopp says he 'loved' the game - was it the best Premier League opener?

As referee Michael Oliver blew the full-time whistle at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp mouthed the word "wow".

It was the fitting end to a seven-goal thriller between Liverpool and Leeds that had absolutely everything and ended 4-3 to the hosts.

Klopp's defending champions led three times only for newly-promoted Leeds, playing in the Premier League game for the first time since 2004, to hit back three times.

Marcelo Bielsa's side were minutes from a deserved point when Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot after new £30m striker Rodrigo produced a shocking 88th-minute challenge on Fabinho.

It ensured Salah started the season with a hat-trick - but that was probably not even the main headline in a game dripping in drama and entertainment.
