A brace from the Foxes’ Belgium centre-back tipped the balance in the Reds’ favour.
It is rare, if at all, for a player to score his own goal twice in the same match. Today’s Liverpool-Leicester was one of those exceptions with an involuntary double by Waut Faes that ultimately helped the Reds win at Anfield.
And that the foxes they started the game in the best possible way, when Dewsbury-Hall pierced Allison’s goal after 4 minutes in a play that started with a long ball from goalkeeper Ward and culminated in a slalom that no defender could stop.

Later came Faes’ nightmare: first he bounced an Alexander Arnold cross towards his goal with a clearance in which the ball described an improbable parabola and then unintentionally hit a ball that previously hit the post after a chip from Darwin Núñez. Minimal effort victory for Jurgen Klopp’s group.
