The clock told us we had watched 38 minutes of this game at the King Power when the Liverpool supporters in the away end began to dust off a familiar refrain.
"The Scouser in our team, the Scouser in our team," they roared. But while the object of their affection was Trent Alexander-Arnold, their two-goal star Curtis Jones might reasonably have expected it to have been about him this time.
Who could blame him if so? This, after all, is currently Jones's best ever run in the Liverpool first team having started nine successive games under Jurgen Klopp. His resurgence has been one of the many feel-good stories of recent weeks.
