Defeating Leicester, Liverpool closes in on Man Utd

After much effort, the goal came to the visitors in the 33rd minute. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker started the clearance with a long pass. Liverpool players coordinated well. Curtis Jones finished neatly to open the score for Liverpool.

Liverpool won their seventh consecutive Premier League match.

Before Leicester's defense could get back into shape, they conceded a second goal after 3 minutes. The scorer was Curtis Jones again. Liverpool were excited. They almost scored a third goal before the break. Meanwhile, Leicester had a lot of difficulty in launching attacks.

In the second half, Leicester City started quickly when Liverpool's machine had not yet entered the game. In the 52nd minute, Harvey Barnes had a good chance but goalkeeper Alisson made an excellent save. The match was open, with both sides constantly exchanging blows.

Trent Alexander-Arnold extinguished all hopes of the home team in the 71st minute. This right-back fired a powerful shot that silenced the entire King Power Stadium. In the remaining time, the away team should have scored more goals but Mohamed Salah unfortunately missed.

Liverpool won 3-0 to keep their Champions League hopes alive. They put pressure on Man Utd by 1 point despite having played one game more. Meanwhile, Leicester are facing the risk of relegation with only 2 games left this season.
