6th day of Premier League
Leicester City-Liverpool: 2-3
Goals: Okazaki (45th), Vardy (69th); Salah (15th), Coutinho (23rd), Henderson (68th)
Without victory in four games, all competitions combined, Liverpool moved with pressure to the King Power Stadium. On a lawn where he had dropped just four days ago, the Merseysiders were not allowed to miss, under pain of crashing into a crisis. Klopp's team finally responded, taking it 3 to 2 despite strong adversity.
The Foxes gave the Reds a hard time . Led 1-0, then 3-1, they did everything to stick to the mark. They would have done so if Jamie Vardy had not missed a penalty in the 73rd minute. Or, more precisely, if Simon Mignolet had not hijacked him. However, it will be difficult to blame the English international. The latter was the main protagonist of the awakening of his own. After a beautiful head back to the goal (43 '), he scored the goal of 2-1 by resuming a diverted strike of Ndidi. And it was also he who brought the famous penalty.
In another day, Leicester would have managed to save at least one point. But Liverpool had the merit of being just as realistic offensively as it was feverish behind. Holder, Philippe Coutinho was the man of the first period with two decisive gestures succeeded. In the 15th minute, he dropped a love ball on Mohamed Salah's head. And in the 23rd minute, he himself found the flaw on a brilliant free-kick. The third goal of the Liverpuldiens was the work of Jordan Henderson. The captain gave air to his team by finding the flaw following a counter, while Joel Matip had just made a decisive save to avoid the 2-2.
