A threaded Joe Upton pass into the Leeds box was an invite for the run of Mabaya, whose shirt was clearly tugged by Lane.<\/p>\n
The referee pointed to the spot and Wright took the responsibility, confidently clipping his kick into the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n
The Reds sensed the game was there to be won, too, and they duly made that wish reality 12 minutes from the end.<\/p>\n
Centre-back Wellity Lucky embarked on a brilliant run almost half the length of the pitch and moved the ball on to Joe Bradshaw.<\/p>\n
The latter produced an outside-of-the-boot pass from the left channel into the Leeds area and there was Wright to dispatch an unerring first-time shot. <\/p>\n
That piece of quality proved enough for all three points as Liverpool saw out their 2-1 advantage to the full-time whistle.<\/p>\n
