Liverpool FC remains on the road to success in the Premier League. After beating Leicester City, the Klopp team are still nine points behind champions Manchester City, who have played a game more.
Liverpool FC celebrated their third league win in a row in the Premier League and kept the small chance of the championship title alive. Team manager Jürgen Klopp’s team defeated cup winners Leicester City 2-0 (1-0) on Thursday evening and is one game less than nine points behind defending champions Manchester City. Match winner was double packer Diogo Jota (34th/87th).
In a largely unspectacular first half, Jota gave the Reds the lead with a sweep after a corner. Liverpool then increased the pressure in the second half and were rewarded shortly before the end with Jota’s second goal.
In the second game of the evening, Arsenal FC celebrated an important victory in the fight for a place in the Champions League. The Gunners, who had to do without German goalkeeper Bernd Leno due to a corona infection, won 1-0 (1-0) at Wolverhampton Wanderers and ousted Manchester United from fifth place.
Defender Gabriel (25th) scored the decisive goal, striker Gabriel Martinelli saw the yellow-red card in the 69th minute after an unsportsmanlike act.
