The Reds, on their part, came from behind to beat Leicester 2-1.

Jamie Vardy scored the seventh goal in his past five games against Liverpool but Mohamed Salah‘s fine brace secured victory over Leicester.

Fourth-placed Liverpool are now unbeaten in 12 Premier League matches, a run that owes much to the brilliant Salah.
