Leicester City 1-0 Liverpool: Salah misses first penalty in 4 years as Rodgers' guys stun wasteful Reds

Ademola Lookman came off the bench to find the net and score the prevailing aim for the Foxes after Mohamed Salah was denied a penalty as Leicester inflicted a humiliating loss on Liverpool.

Liverpool had a stable begin and were awarded a penalty after Mohamed Salah became pulled down within the field by Wilfred Ndidi. However, neither the following spot-kick nor the rebound were transformed through the Egyptian.

Soon afterwards, Kasper Schmeichel stopped Salah all over again, this time placing an arm out to deny him a close range conversion. Leicester finished aggressively in the 2nd 1/2, with James Maddison and Jamie Vardy both squandering probabilities.

Liverpool commenced the second one length strongly and have to have taken the lead whilst Sadio Mane shot over from near variety.

Leicester punished their opponents at the hour mark while substitute Ademola Lookman linked beautifully with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall earlier than slamming past Alisson.

In the very last half of-hour, the Reds&#one hundred sixty;had been unable to produce an equaliser, not to mention a winner, and their 2d lack of the season places them six points in the back of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
