Liverpool cruised to their seventh successive win thanks to a blockbuster strike from Trent Alexander-Arnold added to Curtis Jones' double.
The two Liverpudlians continued their impressive rise in recent months as they inspired the Reds to three points to keep the pressure on the top four. Again the gap between Jurgen Klopp's side and Manchester United was cut to one point after the Red Devils returned to winning ways with their 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jones' quickfire first-half double knocked the wind out of the Foxes after a positive opening from Dean Smith's men. Leicester were looking to return to winning ways after their tepid 5-3 defeat away at Fulham last time out but their defeat to Liverpool further damaged hopes of remaining in the Premier League.
