Play by play
- 90'
And the final whistle goes. Liverpool are top of the Premiership, at least for a few hours - they've won 1-0 at Elland Road
- 90'
An offside flag goes up against Diouf - only seconds remaining now...
- 90'
Robinson belts the ball long - too long, and it's all the way through to opposite number Dudek
- 90'
Leeds have three minutes of stoppage time in which to salvage something - meanwhile, the free-kick comes to nothing
- 90'
Diouf races forward, and a foul by Mills brings a free-kick. That'll take up more time for Liverpool, and they'll be perfectly happy with that
- 89'
Fans are leaving from the home areas - but here comes Mills. Kewell crosses, Hyypia clears and Liverpool can counter...
- 88'
Kewell lets the ball run - Hyypia is there before Viduka can take advantage and Houllier's side are very close to victory now
- 87'
Dacourt on the move - Liverpool pump the ball clear. Was that miss the moment that confirms victory for them?
- 86'
...and then blazes the ball over. It's a bad miss - and Kewell's not the sort of player you would expect that from
- 86'
Viduka takes advantage of a Riise error and streams down the right. He finds Kewell, who brings the ball under control inside the area...
- 85'
It's taken long and touched on, but Barmby is unable to get there and Dudek gathers for Liverpool
- 84'
They have a throw midway inside the Liverpool half, though...
- 83'
Meantime, Leeds are huffing and puffing but looking increasingly likely to succumb to a third defeat in five home games
- 82'
Goalscorer Diao tries his luck with a speculative shot. His luck's out, and wayward is the word of the moment
- 81'
Dacourt makes a lunging challenge on Diouf - he'll get a ticking-off, but not a yellow card
- 80'
Frustration in the stands - Leeds have wasted their set-pieces this afternoon
- 79'
Liverpool concede a corner, but again the delivery is third-rate and the Merseysiders clear their lines with ease
- 78'
It's another dangerous free-kick near the Liverpool area, which Harte will take...
- 77'
Leeds trying to find a way back - they move forward...
- 76'
Viduka gets a touch to a fizzing Mills cross, but he's unable to keep the ball down and it sails into the stand
- 75'
Dacourt is into the fray, with McPhail coming off. The Frenchman has 15 minutes in which to make an impact
- 74'
Leeds giving the ball away at the moment - they're poised to make another change
- 73'
Mills, Viduka and Kewell link - the ball's flicked to Bowyer on the edge of the area but his effort is well wide of the mark
- 72'
Suddenly Houllier's side are taking control again, and they have just under 20 minutes to hold on
- 71'
Cheyrou, Murphy and Owen link - Leeds are struggling and need to get Viduka, who is on for Smith, into the game
