Liverpool move away from the lead at the expense of Leicester

Liverpool move away from the leadership. Six points separate you from a Manchester City that seems not to let go of the accelerator. Before him Leicester, those of Klopp they ran into an insurmountable wall, Despite the plague of injuries, and conceded his second loss of the season. Salah missed a penalty in the 15th minute and gave wings to the ‘foxes’, with a Lookman who scored the only and final goal in the second half. So Leicester take revenge for what happened in the ‘Carabao Cup’ and leave the Liverpool six points behind the lead.

If the first half ended 0-0 on the scoreboard, it was largely due to the work of Kasper Schmeichel. The dans stopped every ball that passed through his area, which was a lot. Above, reflexes, not rebounding … even a penalty. Ndidi in the 15 ‘knocked down Salah within the area and the Egyptian was preparing to increase his scoring figures. But nevertheless, Schmeichel guessed his side, and to top it off Salah the rejection sent him to the crossbar.

Salah he missed his second penalty in the Premier league. The last was in October 2017 against the Huddersfield. He had scored each of his previous 15 attempts until he runs into the goalkeeper of the ‘foxes’, who until now breaks with the illusions of the team of Klopp approaching the leader, the Manchester City.

Salah’s ruling woke up Leicester

The error from the eleven meters of ‘Mo’ Salah activated the players of Brendan Rodgers. Little by little I found Vardy and Iheanacho, paired with rival centrals, and had two consecutive occasions. First that of Jamie Vardy, with a very powerful shot that blocks Matip, and with Maddison, that shot bit. Meanwhile, in the other porter, Schmeichel It kept getting bigger.

The second part followed the same script, but Liverpool was running out of time and the slab was getting bigger. But nevertheless, Jota little by little found the space between the opponent’s center of the field and the defense, in which I attended Man. The Senegals, hand in hand in front of Schmeichel, threw it up. Rodgers He made changes and could not do better, as one of those who had entered scored on the first ball he touched.

First shot on goal … and first goal

Dewsbury-Hall, that he was completing a great meeting, He enabled Lookman and he attacked the space and defined the first suit. The hunt for leadership was beginning to fade at the hands of a Leicester who did an endurance and persistence exercise. It was the first goal in the first shot of the ‘foxes’. Football

It was impossible for the ‘reds’ to trace the score and He has conceded the first goal for three games, figures that have not been given since November 2019.
