GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Leicester (Ayew, 6)


Well, that wasn't in the script.

Smart run from Mavididi, and he teases a delivery beyond Gravenberch, allowing Ayew to spin and sweep past Alisson.

Robertson didn't get close enough, nor Van Dijk - the strike takes a nick before squeezing inside the post.

And the result is that Leicester have an early, shock lead.

"An Arsenal-like approach from Liverpool on those corners as their players gather at the back post before running across goal to try to meet the delivery. But Leicester clear their lines."

14: Justin nods Trent's whipped delivery behind for a corner. Good defensive intervention, because red shirts were lurking.

And now there is some sort of set-play routine being teed up.

Five or six players line up at the back post, awaiting Trent's cross, which is dealt with by Leicester. Not sure that quite worked as intended.

Liverpool 0-1 Leicester

Not much in the way of possession for Leicester but they have had twice as many shots as Liverpool.

12: CHANCE! Liverpool are getting some real joy from Trent spraying balls from right to left, with Gakpo on the receiving end of most. The cross is perhaps a little high for Nunez, who connects but can't guide a decent header goalwards.

11: Liverpool are a little shaken. A few loose touches and sloppy passes have followed the goal.
