Liverpool break Anfield record as Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino goals sink Leicester Diogo Jota kept up his record of scoring in each of his home league appearances for Liverpool as they ended Leicester’s 100% away record with a 3-0 win. Jota scored the second goal after an own goal from Jonny Evans had given Liverpool the lead in the first half. Roberto Firmino added a third late on to make it 64 Premier League games at Anfield in a row without defeat – a new club record in the top flight. There was much talk in the buildup about who would play at centre-back for Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp potentially having to call on a younger player like Nat Phillips. However, the Reds boss was able to use senior players Joel Matip and Fabinho alongside each other as the pair to combat Jamie Vardy and co. More of the early action, though, was at the other end of the pitch. First, Curtis Jones forced a save from Kasper Schmeichel from a tight angle. A few minutes later, Firmino set up Jota, who fired the ball towards goal in an effort to continue his scoring run at Anfield. However, Schmeichel saved once again. There was nothing Schmeichel could do to prevent Leicester going behind in the 22nd minute. As a corner came in from the right, Evans tried to stop Sadio Mane getting to it – but the ball came off the back of the Leicester defender’s head and went into the net as an own goal.
