Leicester took revenge for the recent elimination in the League Cup and, just six days after falling at Anfield, they endorsed Liverpool a loss that momentarily removes them from the Premier’s leadership. If Manchester City win tomorrow in Brentford, they will take 9 points ahead of the ‘reds’, who have a pending match to play.
Jürgen Klopp’s team was not successful in the auction and finished for the first time without scoring this season in the Premier. Kasper Schmeichel saved a penalty to Mohamed Salah, who sent the rebound to the crossbar. Instead, Ademola Lookman, a former Everton player, decided on the first shot between Leicester’s three sticks.
The first part was a continuous harassment and demolition operation by Liverpool, which did not let a Leicester of Brendan Rodgers breathe, a former technician of the ‘reds’, focused on resisting as best the avalanche that was coming upon him could. After a quarter of an hour, Mohamed Salah had the first big chance to open the scoring after being thrown off balance by Wilfred Ndidi, but Schmeichel saved the penalty. The rejection fell to the Egyptian striker himself, who only headed to the crossbar before goal.

In the final stretch of the first part, Leicester could appear in attack when James Maddison appeared between the lines and Jamie Vardy lavished two frustrated arrivals, first by Virgil van Dijk, who reappeared as Fabinho after overcoming Covid-19, and later by Joel Matip, who covered the crossed shot of the veteran forward with a goal mark.
After the break, Liverpool seemed to find ways to pass when Diego Jota put a golden ball on Sadio Mané, who only shot high against Schmeichel (55 ‘).
Leicester, on the other hand, showed maximum effectiveness when he opened the scoring with his first and only shot between the three suits. Ademola Lookman, who had just taken the field, combined in the race with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and, after cutting Matip, nailed the ball to Alisson’s near post (59 ‘).
