Liverpool endured an early scare as Jordan Ayew handed Leicester an unexpected lead in the sixth minute, skillfully turning the Reds' defence before slotting a precise shot into the corner. However, Liverpool’s relentless pressure paid off in first-half stoppage time when Cody Gakpo unleashed a spectacular curling strike from the edge of the box to level the score.

After the interval, the Reds seized control, with Curtis Jones putting the hosts ahead in the 49th minute, capitalizing on Alexis Mac Allister's clever cutback. Gakpo appeared to extend the lead, but his goal was disallowed following a protracted VAR review that deemed Darwin Nunez offside during the buildup. Mohamed Salah eventually sealed the victory in the 82nd minute, marking his 100th Premier League goal at Anfield with a sublime curling finish, propelling Liverpool seven points clear of second-placed Chelsea, despite having played one fewer game.
