Liverpool have increased their chances of qualifying for the Champions League again.
With a well-deserved 3-0 (2-0) win at Leicester City, coach Jürgen Klopp’s football professionals still occupy fifth place in the English Premier League, but are only one point behind third-placed Newcastle United.
Fourth-placed Manchester United are also just a point away from the Reds. However, both competitors played one game less than the Klopp team. Only the top four teams qualify for the Champions League.
Jones brace in three minutes
In Leicester, the visitors dominated the game almost at will. Two goals from Curtis Jones (33rd and 36th minute) paved the way to an away win that was never in jeopardy. Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the final score with a dream goal from an indirect free kick in the 71st minute.
Meanwhile, Leicester City, coached by Dean Smith, still has to worry about staying in the league. With two games left, the sensational champions of 2016 are second to last in the table. The gap to the first non-relegation place is two points. (dpa)
