Diogo Jota leads Liverpool against Leicester City

Liverpool won, convinced, and did not score because of one person in particular: Kasper Schmeichel. The Danish goalkeeper saved everything that could be saved in a memorable match for the Reds, who ended up winning 2-0 but could have easily scored four or five goals. Diogo Jota, the Portuguese, was in charge of giving the victory to Jürguen Klopp.

From the early stages, Klopp's team's superiority over their opponents was evident. A very active Luis Díaz on the left flank began to create problems with his playfulness and control with his feet.

However, the first clear chance went to Leicester. Alisson sent a great shot from Maddison for a corner that missed the target by a whisker. This was just a play in favor of Leicester, who would suffer for the rest of the match.

Liverpool controlled the game and took the lead

The home team began to take control of the match through offensive power. The trident formed by Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, and Firmino left a defense that was outplayed at all times and relied on their goalkeeper.

For example, he prevented Alexander-Arnold's goal with his right foot in the 19th minute. The minutes were passing and the feeling that the goal could come sooner rather than later began to prevail in the atmosphere.

In the end, Liverpool's persistence paid off. Van Dijk powerfully headed in a cross from the corner. Schmeichel, of course, cleared the ball with difficulty. The rebound fell to the feet of Jota, who scored into an empty net.

Salah is back

Brendan Rodgers' side came out with the intention of not being so dominated in the second half, but it seemed physically impossible. Liverpool's technical and physical level was, after all, impressive.

In the 58th minute, Luis Diaz took a dangerous shot that hit a defender and went just wide of the post. Two minutes later, Mohamed Salah, a recent African Cup runner-up, came on and the stadium gave him a standing ovation.

The emergence of the "Pharaoh" into the game only increased the situation of superiority between Liverpool and Leicester. In the 74th minute, he could have scored after getting past three defenders, but his final shot was sent for a corner by Schmeichel.

It was surprising that only one goal separated the two teams. Leicester had one last chance when Maddison broke into the penalty area in the 85th minute and crossed dangerously for a corner. Frankly speaking, it would have been unfair for the Reds to draw.

And although soccer does not understand justice, in this case, it did happen. Just 120 seconds later, Diogo Jota turned brilliantly inside the area and took a shot that, although Schmeichel touched it with his hand, the ball ended up going into the goal, thus sentencing a match that, on merit, should have been decided much earlier.
