LEICESTER, England : Two goals from Curtis Jones and a brilliant set-piece from Trent Alexander-Arnold gave Liverpool a 3-0 win away to Leicester City in the Premier League on Monday, boosting their Champions League hopes while deepening the Foxes' relegation worries.
After a sluggish opening, Jones broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute with a superb first-time finish from Mohamed Salah's cross after Leicester's high defensive line was caught out by a long ball over the top from Liverpool keeper Alisson. The home crowd did their best to get their team back in the game but Alexander-Arnold scored a brilliant third after a free kick was touched into his path by Salah in the 71st minute and his thunderous finish into the top corner snuffed out any hope Leicester might have had of a comeback.
