Liverpool FC won the main game against Leicester City. The Reds set the course for victory early, and they had a scorer for the history books in their ranks.
Important victory for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC. The English champions prevailed in the top game with 3-0 (2-0) against Leicester City and thus also surpassed the Foxes in the table.
Leicester’s Jonny Evans (21st minute) with an own goal and Liverpool’s summer newcomer Diogo Jota (41st) put the Klopp-Elf on the road to victory in the first round. Despite the shortage of staff, Liverpool dominated the game until the end, and could have made the decision earlier through Firmino and Mané (78, 84). Firmino dispelled all doubts about Liverpool’s victory with a header in the 86th minute.
Meanwhile, Jota’s 2-0 goal was one of historic proportions: Never before had a Liverpool player managed to score in his first four home games for the Reds, a feat Jota now accomplished on Sunday night.
With the victory at home, Liverpool are tied on points with leader Tottenham (20 points) for second place, and even eight points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who still have the comeback game against Aston Villa under. the sleeve.
But despite the victory, there was not only positive news for Klopp. Shortly after the restart, Naby Keita grabbed her thigh in the opponent’s penalty area and had to be replaced moments later (53rd).
If Keita fails, he would be the next player in the hospital of the former BVB coach. The Reds are already suffering from the failures of Captain Virgil van Dijk (torn cruciate ligament), Joe Gomez (patellar tendon problems), Trent Alexander-Arnold (calf injury), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee injury) and Thiago (also knee injury).
The latter could be in the Champions League call again against Bergamo (Wednesday, in the live ticker of t-online). The Brazilian Fabinho had already celebrated his comeback against Leicester.
