With a 6-point lead over leaders Manchester City, Liverpool knew they owed points tonight (Tuesday) against Leicester, but it turns out the host did not consider the Mighty Reds’ wishes at all, when they recorded a surprise 0-1 win, in the 20th round of the English league.
The 16th minute Muhammad Salah, will not particularly want to remember. The Egyptian squeezed the offense in the box and also went to perform the penalty, but Schmeichel top is great, and Salah’s rebound was stopped only in the crossbar. By the break, Leicester’s defense had managed to stop the visitors’ attacks and the scoreboard showed a zero draw.
In the second half, Sadio Mane (54) found himself free on the 16th line, but his kick was stopped again in the safe hands of Schmeichel.
In the 59th minute, King Power fans jumped hard into the sky after seeing live Edmula Lockman, who came in just three minutes earlier, easily passes Joel Matip and kicks to the near corner and inside, a surprising 0-1 to Leicester, who jumped to ninth place. Jürgen Klopp’s side, who recorded their second loss of the season, remain just third, three points away from second-placed Chelsea.
