Liverpool remain unbeaten in the 35th league game in a row. At the 4-0 (1-0) in Leicester, Roberto Firmino met in the 31st and 74th minute, James Milner one minute after his substitution by penalty (71.) and Trent Alexander Arnold (78.) for Jürgen Klopp's team , This means that Liverpool have a 13-point lead over Leicester in a completed game, which remains second in the table despite only one point from the past three games.
After just a few minutes, a tour for Liverpool would have been more than deserved. Trent Alexander-Arnold (1st), Sadio Mané (2nd and 5th) and Mohamed Salah (6th) had good first chances for the guests. The hosts seemed completely overwhelmed, especially in the first 20 minutes, with the high pressing of Liverpool. Salah (11th) and Jordan Henderson (15th) missed further opportunities to lead.
If Leicester was able to break free, it was beginning to be dangerous. The Brendan Rogers team didn't want to get the last or penultimate pass. So Leicester ended in the break without a shot on goal.
Liverpool missed the double blow
After almost 20 minutes of play, the game calmed down a bit. The Firmino lead with a header after a sharp kick from Alexander-Arnold then fell out of one of the situations in which Leicester was unable to free himself decisively on the defensive. A minute later, Mané should have made it 2-0, but the Senegalese shot from goalkeeper Kaspert Schmeichel from just under six meters.
In the second half, Leicester started with more forward thrust, but continued without clear opportunities to score. The hosts helped with the chances for Liverpool. After a ball loss from Dennis Praet at his own corner flag Andrew Robertson came to the flank, which Firmino narrowly missed in the middle (55th).
After Milner's penalty goal, the game was decided, but the guests continued to push forward.
