Marcelo Bielsa's men went toe to toe with Jurgen Klopp's outfit on Merseyside as they fell agonisingly short of securing a superb point against the reigning top flight champions. Take a look back at a stunning game in pictures below...
1. Pre-match duties
The two sides line-up ahead of Leeds United's first Premier League encounter in 16 years.
2. Liverpool penalty
Just four minutes into the clash new boy Robin Koch is penalised for an inadvertent handball - and Liverpool have a penalty.
3. Salah converts
And Leeds are on the back foot already as Mo Salah converts the spot kick, sending Meslier the wrong way.
4. United respond through Harrison
Leeds, though, won't go down without a fight and muster a fabulous leveller. Phillips finds Harrison who brings it down, cuts inside and drills into the bottom corner.
5. Managers watch on
It's a frantic start for both managers with the game level at 1-1 after just 13 minutes on Merseyside.
6. Liverpool back ahead
United fall asleep at a corner and Koch loses his man. Virgil van Dijk rises to power home a header past Illan Meslier.
