A moment of history for Liverpool represented an ominous warning for the future to their Premier League rivals. Leicester arrived at Anfield with genuine designs on the top of the table but were comprehensively outclassed by a Liverpool team missing three-quarters of its first choice defence, captain Jordan Henderson and leading goalscorer Mohamed Salah.
Jürgen Klopp’s team made it 64 home league games without defeat – surpassing the club record set between 1978 and 1981 – courtesy of a comical own goal from Jonny Evans, another for Diogo Jota and a late header from Roberto Firmino. Brendan Rodgers’ supposedly in-form side were never allowed to show up. They were harried, out-manoeuvred and exposed throughout by the Premier League champions. A lengthy injury list – which Naby Keïta joined here – shows no sign of undermining their superiority.
