Liverpool continued their good run on Monday night with a seventh consecutive league victory, an easy 0-3 away win over Leicester City. Jurgen Klopp's side are in fifth place and have reduced Manchester United and Newcastle to just a point in the battle for Champions League tickets.
The hosts knew a win would jump them over the red line, but they are the second-worst home team in the league and that hasn't changed this time either. Jamie Vardy missed the first set in the 13th minute, while the Mighty Reds began to take control of the game and in the 33rd minute Mohamed Salah bounced a beautiful ball wide after a mistake by Belgian Wout Pass and Curtis Jones netted.

That partnership worked well three minutes later, when Salah followed up with a touch towards Jones, who spun on the edge of the area and launched a half-volley down the right into the net. First career pairing for the 22-year-old midfielder. The Egyptian added a third assist in the 71st minute, with a quick heel release of a loose ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold that spun into the connections from 20 yards.
