Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola admitted his side learned valuable lessons after a dramatic second-half collapse saw the Reds lose 4-2 to Leeds United in their final pre-season match in the United States.
The Reds impressed before the break and went into half-time with a two-goal advantage, but conceded four unanswered goals in the second half as Daniel Farke’s side completed a remarkable comeback in Chicago.
Despite the disappointing result, Iraola believes the defeat exposed areas that need improvement before the new Premier League season begins.
First-half promise undone after the break
Liverpool produced one of their strongest displays under Iraola during the opening 45 minutes, with new arrivals Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz making encouraging returns.
Luke Chambers opened the scoring in the seventh minute before Wirtz capped an impressive team move to double Liverpool’s advantage before the interval.
