It’s a huge moment for Leicester, who are up to second in the Premier League table and have really strengthened their Champions League qualification hopes.
“But the story is all about Liverpool. Their return to form looked to be on for the first hour of that game but a seven-minute collapse has heaped the pressure on this side now.
let’s recap the crazy seven-minute spell at the King Power Stadium which has turned this game on its head. It started with a clumsy foul by Thiago on Barnes right on the edge of the Liverpool box. It was a free kick rather than a penalty, but Maddison still managed to put it straight in the bottom corner – the goal finally confirmed after a lengthy VAR check.
Liverpool had barely even had time to catch their breath when Alisson, fresh from his error-strewn display against Manchester City, then came charging off his line to collide with debutant Kabak, gifting Leicester their second as Vardy took full advantage.
Things then went from bad to worse for the visitors when a loose pass from Salah in midfield allowed Leicester to break, with Barnes slotting home the third from Ndidi’s pass as Liverpool’s defence was carved wide open.
Phew! A total implosion by Liverpool.
