Ian: Leicester were stubborn opponents but Liverpool persevered with some excellent football and came out deserved winners. I know I keep mentioning it but again Darwin Nunez was disappointing - we need to invest in a proper number nine.

Not for the first time this season, Liverpool delivered under pressure to tighten their grip on the top of the Premier League. Trailing 1-0 after a generally anaemic first-half performance, two fine goals either side of the interval from Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones turned the game around before Mohamed Salah capped the win and allowed Arne Slot’s side to move seven points clear.

Liverpool came back after conceding early to beat Leicester City 3-1 at Anfield on Thursday and open a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
