Alisson clanger sends Liverpool to another defeat in landmark game for Klopp Leicester scored twice in two second-half minutes late on as Alisson produced another clanger as the hosts earned a 3-1 win over Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Saturday lunchtime. A brilliant piece of skill from the under-fire Roberto Firmino created the opening for Mo Salah to whip in his 17th goal of the season. And that looked like being the crucial goal until James Maddison’s free-kick crept all the way in. Initially ruled out, VAR awarded the goal and then as shocking decision by Alisson to come out of his goal allowed Jamie Vardy to run in the winner. Harvey Barnes then made it 3-1 on 85 minutes. It was a result which meant the champions’ have now lost three straight games in Premier League in what was Jurgen Klopp’s 300th Liverpool match. Ozan Kabak was handed his Liverpool debut for the Reds’ crucial trip to Leicester. The on-loan Schalke defender started, with Fabinho out of the trip with a muscle injury. Thiago was on the bench for the visitors. Wilfred Ndidi returned to the Foxes’ Premier League line-up after injury, with Daniel Amartey at the back after James Justin suffered a serious knee injury. Liverpool dictated the opening half an hour although lost James Milner to injury, with Thiago replacing him in the 17th minute. Kasper Schmeichel made a huge save from Firmino, who was six yards out. Jordan Henderson crossed from the left, Sadio Mane flicked it on for Firmino, whose side-foot volley was smothered. The offside flag was up though. Jamie Vardy had a fine chance in the 36th minute when he planted a free header at Alisson. The striker also looked marginally offside when he collected James Maddison’s backheeled flick and clattered a shot against the crossbar. Liverpool came close to breaking the deadlock on 57 minutes.
