His double, along with a great free-kick from Alexander-Arnold, allows Klopp’s men to link seven wins and continue fighting for the ‘Champions zone’
Leicester continues downhill and without brakes and with two games to go they are penultimate, two points from safety
Liverpool does not give up in its attempt to fix the season. Qualifying for the Champions League was his only incentive until the end of the course and in recent weeks he has gotten down to work. There are already seven consecutive days winning and thanks to the puncture of Newcastle the third place has come close to only one point. In the middle, a Manchester United matched with the ‘magpies’.

Leicester has been the latest victim of the ‘red’. A double from Curtis Jones in a brilliant stretch in the first half set the stage for a triumph that Alexander-Arnold put the finishing touch on with a great free-kick in the final stretch. Hat-trick of assists for Salah, who was left without scoring after having ‘wet’ in the last three games.
For much less celebrations are those of Dean Smith. The arrival of the technician has not changed the course either and the danger of relegation is becoming more real. The staging of the ‘foxes’ was not entirely bad, very incisive on the left-handed flank.
Vardy scared Allisson, who appeared only twice in the game but put the lock on his goal again. Iversen could not do it, who conceded the first of the night after half an hour. Salah put it to Curtis Jones at the far postwhere the young man came running and holed up first.

straight away the ’17’ scored his double, with a great maneuver inside the area. Perfect execution speed after another measured pass from Salah. Both goals, at the limit of offside, were validated by video arbitration.
Leicester was KO’d, and as soon as he got out of the center, he lost his leather and Gakpo kicked the dummy after a new golden pass from Mo. The Egyptian retaliated by executing perfectly a free kick attempted with Alexander-Arnold, who remotely directed the ball to the squad. He was able to put the icing on the cake Salah shortly before being substituted but after standing alone in the rival area he shot wide.
