Liverpool’s top-four hopes remain intact after thumping relegation-threatened Leicester City 3-0 to make it seven wins on the spin.
The Reds started the day four points off the Champions League places, but closed the gap again thanks to a brace from Curtis Jones and a Trent Alexander-Arnold rocket. But while the visitors are looking up, it’s a different story for the Foxes, who are now on the brink of dropping back to the Championship.
After a tense and tight opening at the King Power, Liverpool opened the scoring when Jones swept home to complete a rapid counter attack. And just moments later, he was back in on the act, doubling his tally for the night with a dipping effort from the edge of the box.
