Match Review: Liverpool 2-0 Leicester City | Diogo Jota Masterclass & Luis Diaz Impresses

 The Reds face off against The Foxes at Anfield in the Premier League after a 17-day break from league action

The match took place a month and a half after Liverpool's 0–1 loss to Leicester at the King Power Stadium earlier this season. However, this time it will have the opposite result.

The match got underway and Liverpool looked to be on the more lethal side right from the start. The new signer, Luis Diaz, was brilliant from the opening whistle.


The Colombian was winning the ball, moving it into dangerous positions, and playing the balls into the box in the first half.

The first goal of the game came from a corner kick in the 34th minute when Trent Alexander-Arnold swung a graceful cross that was found in the air by Virgil van Dijk, who led the ball with great momentum into Kasper Schmeichel, who then crossed Done it right for Diogo Jota who pounced on a rebound to send The Reds 1-0 up.


The second half began and it was as if Liverpool were enthusing the Danish goalkeeper with shot after shot. It was because of the safe hands of the Leicester keeper that Liverpool were concerned even from afar during the match, as they made nine saves.

Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott were brought in and they immediately swung into action. Egypt had two big scoring opportunities, one of which came from a poor pass in midfield where Liverpool became the No. 11 defender and was only on goal to save their effort.

The final blow from the away side came in the 87th minute when the ball was knocking around the Leicester box, only for who else to control other than Joel Matip, who then played the ball to the Portuguese forward, who took away the second goal.

This performance will leave current league leaders Manchester City feeling somewhat concerned as the Merseyside club seems to be clicking on all cylinders at the moment.
