Leicester City take revenge on Liverpool and inflict its third consecutive defeat
Defending champions Liverpool suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League, losing to Leicester City 1/3 today, Saturday, in the twenty-fourth stage of the competition.
Leicester City raised its score to 46 points to clinch second place, four points behind leaders Manchester City and one point against Manchester United, while Liverpool stuck at 40 points in fourth place.
Liverpool opened the scoring with a goal scored by Egyptian star Mohamed Salah in the 67th minute, and the player raised his tally to 17 goals in the league's top scorer list.
Then Leicester turned the game in his favor and settled it with three goals scored by James Madison, Jimmy Vardy and Harvey Barnes in the 80th, 81st and 85th minutes.
The defeat in today's match doubles the ordeal of Liverpool, who lost their last two league matches to Brighton 1/1 and Manchester City 1/4.
Leicester City took revenge, thus, for its defeat by Liverpool, 0/3, last November in the ninth stage of the league.
