Liverpool 3 Leicester 1: Reds extend title lead as they fight back from 1-0 down through Gakpo, Jones and Salah


LIVERPOOL came from behind to extend their lead at the top of the tree to seven points.

But from then on it was one-way traffic.

Cody Gakpo curled home a beauty on the stroke of half-time and Curtis Jones rolled in just after the break to turn the game on its head.

Gakpo was denied a second by a marginal VAR offside call while at the other end Patson Daka forgot to kick the ball when presented with a great chance.

But Mo Salah made sure of the points with a classy finish into the far corner late on.
