Defending champion Liverpool handed over the lead in the English Premier League to Leicester to Christian Fuchs on Sunday. While the “Reds” only played 1: 1 (1: 1) at Manchester City’s Schlager, the “Foxes” with Fuchs won 1: 0 (1: 0) against Wolverhampton and are now one each Point before Tottenham and Liverpool. The third is two points behind coach Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Leicester Southampton.
In Manchester, Mohamed Salah (13th) gave Liverpool the lead with a penalty after Kyle Walker fouled Sadio Mane in the penalty area. Gabriel Jesús (31st) has compensated the runner-up in the dizzying first half, for whom things are not going well this season. The hosts should have gone ahead before the break, but Kevin De Bruyne (42nd) took a penalty to the left of the goal. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp had to do without Thiago as well as defense chief Virgil van Dijk, who will be out for a long time after his operation. Star forward Sergio Agüero was absent from ManCity due to injury.
Leicester had already applauded thanks to a penalty from Jamie Vardy (15th). The fact that Vardy missed in the 39th minute in the second penalty against “Lobos” -Goalie Rui Patricio had no effect. LASK Europa League opponent Tottenham also won 1-0 at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday thanks to a late header from Harry Kane (88th). Tottenham manager José Mourinho had Kane, Son Heung-min and newcomer Gareth Bale together for the first time from the start.
Hasenhüttl’s sensational side, Southampton, had already beaten Newcastle United 2-0 on Friday. Of the last six games without a loss, the “Saints” have won five.
