Not for the first time this season, Liverpool delivered under pressure to tighten their grip on the top of the Premier League. Trailing 1-0 after a generally anaemic first-half performance, two fine goals either side of the interval from Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones turned the game around before Mohamed Salah capped the win and allowed Arne Slot’s side to move seven points clear.

Liverpool came back after conceding early to beat Leicester City 3-1 at Anfield on Thursday and open a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

It ended with a 3-1 win over Leicester to leave Arne Slot's leaders seven points clear as Liverpool continue to give themselves every chance of winning a first league title for five years. They were not at their fluent best against a struggling Leicester side that stunned the hosts by taking an early lead through Jordan Ayew.
