It may not be at its best, it may be Liverpool missed a penalty, marked the crossbar and wasted other great opportunities, but in the end the Leicester took advantage of her… star and got great victory with 1-0.
The scorer for Brendan Rodgers’s team was Lukman in 59 ‘, which properly completed a counterattack phase for the hosts, but the real MVP was the Casper Schmeichel. The experienced goalkeeper said “no” to Salah in the penalty shootout in the 15th minute, while in the rest of the match he was undefeated, causing nightmares for Jurgen Klopp’s players.
With this result, Manchester City is now at +6 of equal in second place Liverpool and Chelsea and smiles broadly, while Leicester climbed to 9th place, now having 25 points.
From the start of the race the Liverpool was the one who transferred all the pressure to the frames of the hosts in the 14th minute Eddy overthrew him Salah in the area, leading the Egyptian to the ball for the penalty. However, his execution was poor, o Schmeichel he guessed correctly and then Salah headed the ball to the crossbar.
The loss of the great opportunity did not particularly affect Liverpool, which continued to be threatening, losing another good moment with Alexander-Arnold in 32 ‘, while in 55’ the Mane lost one of those not lost by sending the ball out from an advantageous position.
The penalty came a few minutes later, as in 59 ‘from an assist by Dusbury-Hall, the Lukman defeated Allison, writing the final as it turned out 1-0.
