Liverpool – Leicester (2-0) 3-0
The case is updated with summaries and reactions.
A clumsy own goal from Johnny Evans, a superb header from Diogo Jota and a header from Roberto Firmino saw Liverpool beat Leicester at Anfield on Sunday night.
Jota also became historic, with his fourth goal in his fourth home game for Liverpool, something no player in the club’s history has previously achieved.
– 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, Diogo Jota tells Sky Sports.
Challenging period for Liverpool: – Always a disappointment
Victory means Liverpool go up to a shared table with Tottenham.
– Totally sick
Diogo Jota doubled the hosts’ lead five minutes before the break. Andrew Robertson from the left side of the field. The Portuguese made room and scored 2-0.
– The score there is completely sick. He’s so sure. This man is currently flying, says TV 2 soccer expert Erik Thorstvedt.
– He’s so smart, at the same time that he runs a lot. He is simply a super player. He’s not particularly physically strong, but he uses what he has to the fullest, Hangeland says.
Roberto Firmino put the nail in the coffin just before the end. The Brazilian rose to the top after a corner kick and stabbed at 3-0.
Comic auto target and VAR situation
Johnny Evans opened it up by putting the ball into his own net after a James Milner corner kick. Leicester’s plug was supposed to clear the ball with his head, but he clumsily managed to head the ball into his own net.
– It’s strange for such an experienced plug. He’s too preoccupied with the duel with Mané, so he forgets the ball and only takes one hit, says Brede Hangeland, a TV 2 soccer expert.
Fernandes saved by VAR on two occasions and ensured victory
Three minutes into the game, guests screamed for a penalty after the ball hit Jöel Matip’s arm. It was later reviewed by the VAR, but no penalty was missed.
– We have asked the Premier League and received answers, because I reacted. The answer is that it was the short distance and that the hand was in the expected position. I think we can say that in early September there would be punishment. Now the rule has been tightened to reduce the number of penalties, says Erik Thorstvedt.
Naby Keïta had to make a change in the 54th minute. The Liverpool player hit the back of his thigh. In his place came Neco Williams.
