00:00The picturesque Pennine Hills provided the back cloth for the latest confrontation between northern rivals Leeds and Liverpool.

00:07Their respective opening day victories had helped confirm pre-season optimism at both clubs,

00:12with two names in particular dominating the headlines.

00:15For Leeds, Tony Yeboah had begun the new season with a venomous double strike at West Ham.

00:20While Liverpool's £8.5 million signing Stan Collymore had scored his team's winner at home to Sheffield Wednesday.

00:27At Eddon Road, Collymore's first contribution though was to prove a costly one for Britain's most expensive footballer.

00:33Not only was a promising run ended by this tackle from John Pemberton, but so too was Collymore's part in the game.

00:40It was a big disappointment for Collymore on two counts.

00:44First, as the replay clearly shows, Pemberton's intervention surely warranted a penalty kick.

00:49While in the meantime, an ankle injury will now keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks at least.

00:54So, Collymore substituted and young Robbie Fowler on this is very able a replacement.

00:59The commentator on the highlights, John Helm.

01:01Here we go towards Wallace, back here.

01:06And there's the strike! Wonderful goal! Wonderful Yeboah!

01:11Boy, do they love it, Mattel and Road! James never saw it!

01:18Well, he did it to West Ham on Saturday. And this man is quite sensational around the goal scoring area.

01:28He doesn't even look up. And look at that for a venomous strike.

01:34Tony Yeboah, the new darling of Ellen Road, hammers it into the roof of the Liverpool net.

01:47Johnston knocked one back in, right on towards Rush.

01:50And Ian Rush is just going to creep the wrong side of the upright.

01:55He steals in behind the Leeds defence, caught out for almost the first time tonight.

02:03McAllister, nice pass. Wallace takes on Matteo.

02:08Doesn't get past him though. Excellent work from Matteo McAllister!

02:12Well, it's gone a whisker wide in the aid of David James.

02:19Such an intelligent player, McManaman. And Rob Jones is going to have a crack here!

02:23Hits the upright. Took a deflection. A wicked one.

02:27But that was almost one for the collectors as Fowler whams it across goal.

02:36And now McAllister. Leeds conscious of keeping as much possession as possible.

02:40Dorigo knocks it into the heart of the area.

02:43Here's Dean! Wonderful stop from James!

02:46Otherwise, the points are in the back of the Leeds.

02:48Back to the Leeds.
