Not for the first time this season, Liverpool delivered under pressure to tighten their grip on the top of the Premier League. Trailing 1-0 after a generally anaemic first-half performance, two fine goals either side of the interval from Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones turned the game around before Mohamed Salah capped the win and allowed Arne Slot’s side to move seven points clear.

Leicester’s defending was a curious combination of the choreographed, courageous and yet slightly unconvincing as ricochets and deflections dropped in their favour. Andy Robertson headed against the post and Salah struck the crossbar with a clipped effort, at which stage it felt a matter of time before the equaliser followed.
