Liverpool gained three valuable points to be sixth at the moment, two points from a top-four place. Leicester, who got an early lead in the match at Anfield, remain 13th. Meanwhile, West Ham suffered another defeat as concerns grow. Here are the stats.

    How did the match pan out?

    Leicester took an early lead in the 4th minute via Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who raced through on goal before firing past Alisson. Just before half-time Leicester defender, Faes stuck out a boot to try and divert Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross behind but it ended up as an own goal as the ball looped over the keeper. Fout scored another own goal moments later.
