Leicester City 0 Liverpool 3 Jones (33'minutes, 36'minutes), Alexander-Arnold (71'minutes)

Curtis Jones shines with a brace as Liverpool dominates hapless Leicester, extending their winning streak and surging towards a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Under Jurgen Klopp's guidance, Liverpool has been in remarkable form, securing victories in their last seven matches. They currently trail Newcastle and Manchester United by a single point, albeit having played an extra game.

Leicester, on the other hand, continues to suffer defeat after defeat, languishing in 19th place and perilously close to the relegation zone. With just two games remaining, they find themselves two points adrift of safety.

The Reds demonstrated their attacking prowess by scoring twice within a span of three minutes in the first half. The deadly combination of Mohamed Salah providing the assists and Curtis Jones coolly finishing resulted in the talented midfielder notching his first-ever Premier League double.

Liverpool had an opportunity to extend their lead to 3-0 before halftime, but an outstanding reflex save from home goalkeeper Daniel Iversen denied Cody Gakpo from point-blank range.

In the second half, Salah once again showcased his playmaking abilities by setting up a perfectly placed free-kick for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who expertly curled the ball into the top corner, securing a sublime goal and adding to Liverpool's commanding lead.
