Liverpool have made it 17 Premier League wins on the bounce with James Milner's injury time penalty seeing off Leicester at Anfield.
Sadio Mane scored his 50th league goal for the Reds on his 100th league appearance before James Maddison levelled the contest with just 10 minutes left on the clock.
Deep into injury time however a penalty was awarded with Marc Albrighton clipping Mane's ankles - with Milner sealing the win with virtually the last kick of the game.
The wins sees Liverpool open up an eight point lead over second place Manchester City - who are in action on Sunday.
After Milner and Roberto Firmino spurned the best opportunities of the first-half, Mane produced a moment of class just before the break.
Latching onto a superb ball from Milner, the Liverpool forward drove towards Leicester defenders Jonny Evans and Çağlar Söyüncü, dancing inside the pair before slotting past Kasper Schmeichel.
The hosts passed up a string of opportunities to see the game out on Brendan Rodgers' return to the red half of Merseyside.
And with 10 minutes left on the clock they appeared to pay the price.
Latching onto a ball from Ayoze Perez, Maddison, back in the Foxes XI after missing the 5-0 rout on Newcastle, caught Virgil van Dijk flat-footed before firing past Adrian.
With less than a minute left on the clock Jurgen Klopp's side pushed for a winner - with Mane again at the centre of the action to win the decisive spot kick.
Milner made no mistake in sending Schmeichel the wrong way.
