Match: 1-0
At Kickoff, in the crisis of results, we vowed to hell in Leicester, and faced several defeats (Soyüncü, Bertrand, Barnes, Daka …), 48 hours after the heavy setback against City (3-6). The best position is against Liverpool – including the last win … Fox in the League Cup (3-3; 5-4 in the Tabs) and almost a week ready for this meeting. Also, against all odds, the Reds trapped at King Power Stadium.
Not because of the lack of opportunity to fold the crowd quickly. From the 15th minute, Mohamed Salah went on to make a penalty, but Caspar Schmeichel, who had played tremendously throughout the game, stopped his shot and his second attempt, through a header, was pushed back to the bar. Lack of success and, above all, the first sign of the evening austerity of the Jrgen Klopp men. Another proof: Sadio Mane missed this face-to-face when he did very hard (55th).
Four minutes later, almost inevitably, Ademola Lukman (see below) did not miss the chance to open the first score (59th) and shot only the goal from his team. In the back, Liverpool were pushed into not being able to be dangerous enough. Roberto Firmino’s entry did not change anything. In the end, City took advantage of this decision to drop the second half by six points. The first turning point in the title race?

This is Mohamed Salah’s second unanswered penalty in the Premier League, previously in October 2017 (against Huddersfield). He replaced the following fifteen in the championship.
Player: Lukman, red anti-weapon
Lukman, who entered the 56th minute, needed just a few minutes to settle the situation with his first ball. The English striker, who has already scored a goal in Manchester on Sunday, has scored his goal (59th). A bad memory for the Reds, who had already been martyred with Fulham last season in the Premier League) He did it again, this time in a Leicester jersey.
