The game
Leicester opened the scoring after just three minutes of play, with a goal by Dewsbury-Hall. After a goal kick, the visiting team made a good exchange of passes and the winger kept the ball to advance and take advantage of the failure of Liverpool’s defense, in the departure of goalkeeper Alisson: 0 to 1.
Still in the first half, defender Faes scored two bizarre own goals and turned the duel over to Liverpool. Leicester had the best moment in the match, but ended up losing the lead in just six and a half minutes.
In the first move, in the 38th minute, Alexander-Arnold, from Liverpool, crossed from the right and sent the ball into the small area. The Leicester defender tried to make the cut, but ended up deflecting and sending it over the goalkeeper Ward.
In the second move, at 44 minutes, Darwin Núñez tried to dig Ward in a quick play, but hit the post. The Leicestser defender, however, took the rebound and sent it again against his own goal.
