It is likely that Jürgen Klopp’s description of Leicester as the toughest Premier League opponent to face at the moment was meant as a compliment to Brendan Rodgers rather than a dig at Manchester City, but either way the Foxes lived up to their billing by giving Liverpool their biggest scare of the domestic season so far.
A James Maddison equaliser 10 minutes from the end appeared to have stopped Liverpool’s winning sequence at 16 and prevented the leaders opening an eight-point overnight gap on Manchester City, until a Marc Albrighton mistake in added time handed the game to the home side, who can now equal the Premier League record of 18 straight wins when they visit Old Trafford after the international break.
