Liverpool moved 13 points clear at the top of the table on Thursday as they beat Leicester 4-0 in the Premier League.
Roberto Firmino scored twice, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Milner scoring the other goals for the Reds.
The best goal of the game, arguably, came as a flowing move led to Alexander-Arnold picking out Firmino with an excellent low cross leading to the forward lifting the ball into the top corner.

READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
It was one of the slickest team moves you will see in the Premier League this season. The move started from the back and then built momentum through the midfield with some quick passing to create space before sending the ball out wide to Alexander-Arnold to find Firmino with a pinpoint cross. The forward brought it down with a perfect first touch before firing it into the top corner to make it 3-0 at the time.
Firmino has not been prolific this season, but his all-round play has been as good as ever. He is far more than just a goalscorer, although he showed against Leicester that he certainly is that as well.
