Liverpool vs Leicester - LIVE!
Diogo Jota scored a brace to keep Liverpool’s distant hopes of catching Manchester City at the top of the Premier League alive.
On a night when new signing Luis Diaz particularly impressed and Mohamed Salah made his return from the Africa Cup of Nations, the depth of Liverpool’s attacking line has never looked stronger.
After Virgil van Dijk had seen his header parried around the half an hour mark, Jota pounced and hit an instinctive finish to give the hosts a deserved lead, although Leicester had given a much better account of themselves than they had during their FA Cup loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
For large parts, they were in the game, albeit without creating much in the way of clear cut chances.
Still, Jota wrapped up the win with another clever finish, swiveling on a through from Joel Matip after Liverpool had counter-pressed from a corner.
