Bad mess! Liverpool botched the hunt for England leaders Manchester City despite extended Christmas break …
0: 1 bankruptcy with tired Leicester stars. While the Reds had five days off, the ex-champions last had to play two days ago, receiving six more from City.
Jürgen Klopp (54) despairs of Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel (35) and his goal scorer Mo Salah (29). The Egyptian fails with a very weak penalty shot at the keeper (15th minute), then heads the rebound from six meters to the crossbar.
For the Reds it was the first twisted 911 since 2017. 21 attempts have been made since then, 15 of which Salah turned.
With a sensational parade from two meters, Schmeichel prevented Salah’s 23rd goal of the season (33rd) again a little later with his right arm like a handball goalkeeper.
Liverpool pushes. Schmeichel holds the zero. And then a Leipzig loaner really hurts Liverpool: Ademola Lookman (24) scores just three minutes after being substituted on to make it 1-0 for Leicester (59th).
Six days ago Liverpool turned the game against Leicester, turning a 1: 3 into an 8: 7 on penalties. But that was a cup …
In the league, Klopp is now six points behind Manchester after the bankruptcy.
► The game of Everton FC against Newcastle United on Thursday (8.30 p.m.) was postponed due to numerous corona cases. It is already the 16th Premier League game that had to be canceled in the past three weeks due to Corona.
