Salah misses penalty as Liverpool suffer shock defeat at Leicester
Nigerian-born wonderkid, Ademola Lookman scored the only goal as Leicester defeated Liverpool to leave the Reds six points off the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool’s biggest chances came in the first half when Mohamed Salah had a 15th-minute penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel.
Former Everton forward Lookman, with only his fourth touch after coming on, beat Joel Matip and rifled a shot past Alisson.
The goal was Leicester’s only shot on target in the game.
Leicester, missing several first-team players, hung on despite relentless late Liverpool pressure – just six days after blowing a 3-1 lead to lose on penalties against the same opposition in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
With only their second defeat of the season, Liverpool are now six points behind leaders Manchester City, while Leicester – who have won just two games out of seven – move up to ninth.
