Liverpool moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League as they came from behind to beat Leicester 3-1 at Anfield.

The Reds made a sluggish start as Jordan Ayew gave Leicester a shock lead inside six minutes, swivelling and finishing well beyond Alisson after good work from Stephy Mavididi.

It was a lead the Foxes held until first-half stoppage-time, when Cody Gakpo was allowed to drift onto his right foot and curl in a brilliant finish from just outside the area.

That felt like a significant body blow and so it proved, as Liverpool stepped it up after the break. They led within five minutes of the restart, as Alexis Mac Allister's cut-back was turned in by Curtis Jones from close range. a goal that was confirmed after a lengthy VAR review.

An even more painfully long check denied Gakpo his second, with Darwin Nunez offside in the build-up, but the result was effectively put to bed when Mohamed Salah scored in trademark fashion, finding the far corner with the left-footed strike.

With Chelsea losing to Fulham earlier in the day, Liverpool are now seven points ahead of the Blues with a game in hand. Arsenal have the chance to close the gap to the Reds to six points, but they too have played a game more.
