Reds keep up
Liverpool FC keeps the pressure on the international ranks. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team beat Leicester City 2-1 (2-1) at home on Friday at Anfield – but without scoring a goal themselves.
Premier League market values: Salah among 10 biggest losers (November update)
Because after the early deficit by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the fourth minute, the 24-year-old Belgian Wout Faes, as a 17 million euro purchase from Stade Reims only since September at Leicester, probably experienced some of the worst minutes of his football career . The central defender scored a first own goal in the 38th minute and a second in the 45th.
Faes stood there, arms outstretched, unable to believe it himself. According to data provider Opta, he is only the fourth player in the Premier League to score two own goals in a game. In any case, Liverpool was happy about their fourth league win in a row. The Reds remain sixth in the table, but have reduced the gap to Manchester United to one point for the time being.
