A dominant performance from Arne Slot's side.
They showed today that even when behind in a game, they find a way to grind out a win.
Leicester tried to keep them out, frustrating them until added time at the end of the first-half, but finally falling to this attacking Reds side.

84. What a superb goal from the Egyptian King.
He picks the ball up out wide and cuts back onto his left-foot.
Using Kristiansen to ensure the keeper is unsighted, he bends his shot around him and into the far corner.
Game over.
Goal - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

82. Mavididi takes a dive looking for a free kick.
The referee tells him to get up and waves play on.
Surely if that is not a foul he should be booking the player for simulation.

80. Slot's side are patiently trying to build attacks again.
As Leicester win the ball back, Szoboszlai takes one for the team as he brings him down.

Liverpool are in cruise control now following the 49th minute strike on his 100th Prem appearance from Curtis Jones that put them ahead.
Well, cruise control going forward, that is.
At the back, as has been the case all season, there have been shaky moments.
Patson Daka only needed to stay calm to grab an equaliser with Alisson stranded but froze and mis – kicked, no doubt much to the relief of Arne Slot who really needs to put more work in on his rear guard.
Liverpool 2-1 Leicester
72. The Reds continue to look for the safety of a third goal.
Leicester are knocking the ball around like they are trying to waste time still.
They may want to check the scoreboard again.

70. It is crazy how long these reviews are taking.
Nearly four minutes with this one as Gakpo's goal is ruled out.
We will probably have about 20 minutes of added time today.
Liverpool 2-1 Leicester
68. Liverpool add another goal but it is immediately ruled out for offside.
We have to wait for another VAR review.
Cody Gakpo hopes it is not chalked off.
Liverpool 2-1 Leicester
66. Van Nistelrooy looks to make a couple of changes.
Skipp and Buonanotte come on for The Foxes.
They replace El-Khannous and Winks.

64. Liverpool will be wanting more goals here.
No one wants to go into the closing stages of the game with such a slender lead.
Those can come back to bite you in the Premier League.
