Leicester 3 Liverpool 1
Vardy 28 Drinkwater 39 Vardy 60 Coutinho 68
Leicester looked much brighter and quicker at the start.
When Mark Albrighton released the extraterrestrial ferret, he scored a typical Jamie Vardy goal with supreme confidence.
A classic Vardy finish, rifled home with his right foot.
1-0 to the Foxes
Liverpool were being outplayed because they had no attack and no midfield.
Then Danny Drinkwater fired a 30-yard thunderbolt that made it 2-0 at half-time.
Without Ranieri, whol was controversially sacked last week, Leicester were transformed.
The caretaker manager is Craig Shakespeare, who has been coaching the team all season.
For the first time this season,the Leicester ensemble was fast & fierce.They defended furiously, attacked passionately, played as if they cared, and were obviously keen to showing their supporters that they could beat the drop by playing bthe kind of football they produced last season.
And Jamie Vardy was on fire.He produced 71 sprints!Q!!!!Just phenomenal
When left back Fuchs crossed after a sweet move with Mahrez, Vardy’s head provided the third.
Premier League Champions 3 Liverpool 0
Then Emre Can rolled forward and gave a four-yard square pass to Coutinho,who sidefooted low past Schmeichel.
Remarkably, that was Coutinho’s first goal in four months
Leicester’s first win of 2017 lifts them out of the bottom three.
An amazing night at the King Power Stadium that ended with the players doing a lap of honour.
Liverpool v Arsenal is a 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday.
Let’s see Arsenal play with as much fire and passion as Leicester did tonight.
Last night’s story was that Leicester fought like tigers and deserved to win 3-1.
Liverpool being outplayed and thrashed is a smaller story but a worrying one.
Jurgen Klopp said that he and the Liverpool team are now playing for their futures.
Centreback Lucas should be made to measure for Arsenal if Liverpool play a high line, as they did last night.
Jamie Carragher said on Sky after the game that Lucas should never be at centreback in a defence that’s pushing up against the pace of Vardy.
On Match of the Day 2, which I saw this morning, Didi Hamann said that the Leicester players had been to the chairman four times after a breakdown in communications with Ranieri.
