LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Leeds United waited 16 years to get back into the Premier League in order to compete with the best and while they suffered a 4-3 loss to Liverpool, it was clear from Saturday's showing that Marcelo Bielsa's side are an exciting addition to the top flight.

The promoted club came back three times to equalise against the champions, they enjoyed the majority of possession and played with a relentless verve and energy and without the slightest hint of stage-fright.
