During Thursday evening's "Premier" League match, "Liverpool" defeated "Leicester City" at home with a score of 2:0. At the beginning of the meeting, both teams had chances to score, but both team's goalkeepers played confidently. "Liverpool" goalkeeper Allison demonstrated excellent reaction in repelling James Maddison's tricky shot, while "Foxes" goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel acrobatically dealt with Trent Alexander-Arnold's powerful attempt with the help of both hands. However, Klopp's players scored the only goal of the match in the 34th minute. The visitors' goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel blocked a powerful header from Virgil van Dijk, but left the ball straight to Diogo Jota's feet. The latter, with a shot from close range, left no chance for the lying opponent's goalkeeper and the score became 1:0.

After the goal, Liverpool players completely took the initiative. Kasper Schmeichel, who played a fantastic game, saved his team in multiple moments, holding the intrigue until the 87th minute, when after a clever pass from Joel Matip, Diogo Jota scored a double by sending the ball to the bottom left corner of the goal, making the score 2:0.

After these matches, "Liverpool" ranks in the second position of the table and reduces the gap from the leader "Manchester City" to 9 points.
