Liverpool's impressive comeback victory over Leicester put them seven points clear at the top of the Premier League. Despite dominating possession as halftime drew near, the Foxes looked at their best defensively, with Arne Slot appearing as agitated as he has all season as the Foxes slackly took set pieces. Jordan Ayew's early goal startled the Kop.
Then, as the clock reached the forty-five-minute mark, Cody Gakpo's attempt from the opposite side of the penalty area entered the net after Mo Salah's spectacular curling attempt struck the bar. Curtis Jones' close-range shot put the game beyond doubt four minutes after it resumed, and even though a Salah pearler increased the advantage in the 82nd minute, the three points never appeared in question. With one game remaining, Liverpool leads Chelsea at the top by a respectable margin, while the Foxes dropped into the bottom three.
