Liverpool closed the gap on Tottenham for a Champions League qualification place thanks to a comeback win over Leicester after the visitors experienced an own-goal disaster.
The Foxes had gone ahead after just four minutes when Kiernan Drewsbury-Hall ghosted past Liverpool's midfield and defence before slotting coolly past Alisson. But as the first-half entered its closing stages, Wout Faes endured a nightmare spell.
First, he sliced Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross over Danny Ward and into his own net, before then gifting Liverpool the win by also putting in a rebound from Darwin Nunez's shot. Here, Mirror Football looks at five of the biggest talking points from the Premier League clash.
Faes' nightmare
It had been looking so good for Leicester as the game entered the closing stages of the first half. But then Wout Faes endured a remarkable seven-minute nightmare to totally turn the match in Liverpool's favour.
First, he bizarrely turned Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross over Danny Ward's head and into his own net. The Belgian slashed at the ball with his left foot, despite Ward having clearly called for the cross to be left for him to deal with.
Seven minutes later, Faes incredibly scored another own-goal after Darwin Nunez's chip had hit the post. He attempted to clear the ball out for a corner, but could only fire it into his own net for a second time.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Who was man of the match from Liverpool's clash with Leicester? Comment below.
Alexander-Arnold keeps pressure on
Andy Robertson broke the record for the most assists made by a defender in Premier League history in the Boxing Day win over Aston Villa. But chasing him down is team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
And Alexander-Arnold unofficially closed the gap on Robertson's record to eight assists when he saw a cross turned into the Leicester net by Faes. The Englishman was one of Liverpool's biggest attacking threats against the Foxes.
He sent 13 passes into the final third, nine more than Robertson, and consistently looked to create chaos among the Leicester defence with quick balls forward to his side's attacking players. Robertson's record could be on the line if he continues to star.
Liverpool problem rears its head again
One of Liverpool's biggest problems all season has been their weakness in defence. It was an issues that reared its ugly head just four minutes into the clash against Leicester, with the Foxes taking full advantage.
Danny Ward's long ball forward caused chaos among the Liverpool defence, with Kiernan Drewsbury-Hall running through them unchallenged before slotting the ball past Reds keeper Alisson.
The visitors continued to take advantage of Liverpool's weakness at the back, creating numerous opportunities as they pushed forward out wide. Arguably, Leicester should have scored more goals with the chances they created, with Liverpool's defensive issues not going away.
Vardy's celebrations spoiled
In coming on as a substitute after 15 minutes, Jamie Vardy was handed his 350th appearance in league football. All of those games have come for Leicester, with 49 in the Championship and 287 in the Premier League.
Before his introduction, it appeared that the Foxes were making a point about a changing of the guard in their team. Patson Daka, who started up-front, was crucial in Drewsbury-Hall's opener.
While Vardy attempted to be at his disruptive best at Anfield, the service from his team-mates was limited. While Daka impressed in his limited cameo, Vardy proved there's still life in his legs, even after 350 appearances.
Oxlade-Chamberlain fails to take chance
With new star signing Cody Gakpo in attendance, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had to impress if he has any hopes of extending his Liverpool career. It was a chance he failed to take though, with the Englishman struggling to have an impact on the game.
Gakpo will be available for selection from Monday's clash with Brentford and he is likely to be thrown straight into action. Oxlade-Chamberlain's place on the left wing is the one he will be taking, judging by the clash with the Foxes.
The 29-year-old failed to deliver an accurate cross, did not have a shot on target and won just three of his attacking duels. He may have to search for a new club in January, with Gakpo arriving to inject new blood into Liverpool's attack.
