(Liverpool 3-0 Leicester) Jürgen Klopp’s men played very well and had full control at home against Leicester. But the fact that another Liverpool player had to leave with an injury was a serious blow to the joy of an already thin squad.
Because in the 2-0 position, with steely control of the game and sometimes brilliant attacking football, what did not happen happened.
Another Liverpool player was injured.
Injuries

This is bad news for a Liverpool that has already been hit hard by injuries.
Key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcantara and the newly crowned Mohamed Salah have been injured or ill during the 2020/21 season, a season in which Liverpool will attempt to defend gold of the league. they took so magnificently last season.
Jürgen Klopp was able to rejoice that Fabinho and Matip were back in the starting lineup for the game against Leicester, and the newly composed defensive line with James Milner on the right-back was kept to zero and defended masterfully when needed. Leicester did not create the world.
However, Liverpool did, who could have won by much more than 3-0. But let’s start with the objectives.
30 moves before scoring
The first came after 21 minutes of play. Liverpool then ran into Leicester’s goal for 20 minutes, and it was former Manchester United player Jonny Evans who was behind the first goal of the match.
Nordiren was superior in the duel with Sadio Mané, but with a clumsy header he put the ball behind a Kasper Schmeichel without a chance. Evans ‘tenth own goal in the Premier League this season and Evans’ sixth own goal as a Premier League player.
Only Richard Dunne (10), Jamie Carragher (7) and Martin Skrtel (7) have more own goals at the highest level in England.

And if the first goal was a bit of luck for Liverpool, the second was simply beautiful. Exactly 20 minutes after the first goal, James Milner delivered a beautiful cross to Andy Robertson. He calmed the ball, passed a man and targeted summer signing Diogo Jota, who took a smart run. The Portuguese ran free and gracefully stabbed the ball behind Schmeichel after a hit from Robertson.
And not only that: the goal came after Liverpool made 30 plays within the team. It is the longest attack he has led to score since choose received corresponding figures in the 2006/07 season.
That goal made Jota the first Liverpool player in history to score in his first four home games in the English first division.
– I am very proud. I just want to help the team, but when things like this also happen, I feel proud. Now I just want to continue, says Jota about the album in an interview shown on TV 2.

New club record
After abusing opportunity after opportunity, Liverpool finally landed a well-deserved 3-0 goal when Roberto Firmino stepped up and put the finishing touches on the corner.
But Liverpool could, as mentioned, win a lot more.
Sadio Mané, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Joel Matip all had good chances, but if Kasper Schmeichel didn’t get in the way, Christian Fuchs or the post did.

On one occasion, 13 minutes before the end of time, Firmino hit the post, before the end of Mané’s lap went to Schmeichel and then to the crossbar. The resulting comeback was saved down the line.
Despite the missed opportunities, Liverpool scored three points, which also set a new club record. This was their 64th straight home game without a loss in the league. The old 63-game series without a home loss in the league was stopped in January 1981 by none other than Leicester.
But history did not repeat itself in November 2020.
Instead, history was written.
