Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa was not prepared to accept the plaudits for the performance his side put in on their long-awaited return to the Premier League after a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool.

The visitors equalised three times but were denied a point at Anfield by an 87th-minute penalty which saw Mohamed Salah complete his hat-trick with his second goal from the spot.
