Liverpool suffered a bitter loss against its host, Leicester City, in the match that brought them together last Tuesday evening in the 20th round of the English Premier League.
Leicester owes the victory to its star Ademola Lookman, who scored the game’s only goal in the 59th minute of the match.
The Egyptian Mohamed Salah, the star of the “Reds”, missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring when he scored a penalty kick in the 15th minute, which was brilliantly saved by Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
This is the second loss for Liverpool in the league this season, after the first against West Ham United, 3-2 in the 11th round of the competition.
With this victory, Leicester raised its score to 25 points in ninth place, while Liverpool’s balance froze at 41 points in second place, 6 points behind leaders Manchester City.
This, and Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, confirmed that Leicester City deserved to win, and Klopp said in media statements: “Of course, they deserved to win, it was a very strange match.”
He continued: “We were not good enough, we had enough chances, and what we did when we had the ball was not right. We played a very bad match, so the loss was well deserved.”
“Our decision-making (was poor), we may have lost a little luck, that’s how it is,” he added.
We should have had more of those moments.” “We had enough to win… I think we started well and then we lost our rhythm completely and didn’t get it back,” he added. Leicester played two days ago and they definitely deserved that win.”
“They hit one shot on goal, they didn’t have a lot of chances,” he said. We should have defended better.
We usually do that, but we didn’t today and it’s hard to explain, (many players) were below normal, there is no explanation.”
On the widening difference with Manchester City, Klopp said: “It is a big gap, at the moment it is not my problem, if we play the usual football, Liverpool football, we will have a chance to win more games.” He concluded: “Defeat remains defeat.
We have to learn and we will do it, the first thing is not to repeat what happened today again. We lost our rhythm and weren’t calm enough to get it back. This is our fault.”
