In the fourth minute, the front three had already carved the home side open, only to for both Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah failed to find the finish. By the 10th minute, Mané put the Reds ahead, finishing off a breakthrough run and cross from Andrew Robertson.

Once on top, Liverpool asserted complete control of the first half. While Leicester is a solid side, the only opportunities they could snatch at were the result of Liverpool errors. Then Firmino found the net just before the break, demonstrating another developing quality this season

Conceding their first goal of the campaign, the Reds gave the Foxes a semblance of hope. Leicester provided a slightly different test. The hosts clawed their way back into a scrap after scoring but Liverpool’s quality proved too much.
