Leeds United beat 10-man Liverpool 2-1 today to move into third place in the premiership.

First-half goals at Anfield by Rio Ferdinand and Lee Bowyer proved enough to secure three important points for David O'Leary's side against a Liverpool team playing their third match in six days.

England midfielder Steven Gerrard pulled a goal back for Liverpool after 55 minutes but was sent off 15 minutes later for a second yellow card.

Leeds, with 56 points from 33 games, now occupy the third qualifying spot for next season's Champions League, having jumped above Ipswich Town, now fourth with 53 points from 32 games. Liverpool stay fifth on 50 points from 31 games.
