Ademola Lookman was the star man for Leicester City on Tuesday night, as his goal just before the hour mark gave the Foxes sweet revenge against the Reds in the Premier League.
Brendan Rodgers gets the better of his former club, and Jurgen Klopp will be forced to regret a possibly dramatic title loss.
At the King Power Stadium, the match ended with Leicester City beating Liverpool 1-0.
One would surely wonder if Rodgers will take Tuesday’s victory over last week’s triumph? You’d think he would, given how late Liverpool took a semi-final win away from his team.
But the Foxes avoided a repeat performance this time, holding on for three points – a key advantage in European competition.
But it’s only Liverpool’s second Premier League defeat of the season, and it’s a significant one.
Klopp and his team would have been able to stay up with Manchester City if they had won. They are now down by six points.
To keep this race in sight, they’ll need Pep Guardiola’s team to make an unexpected mistake.
For both sides, this draws the year to an end in 2021, but they’ll be back right at it as once next year arrives.
Leicester will open off 2022 against Norwich, while Liverpool will face a considerably more difficult assignment in a heavyweight match against Chelsea.
“At that moment in the game, especially for us to get that moment and capitalise on it, was vital. From there we grew stronger as a team.” – Matchwinner Ademola Lookman speaks after the game.
