Liverpool vs Leicester City LIVE: Premier League football as it happened

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Anfield

Liverpool failed to take full advantage of Manchester City's slip-up in the title race as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester.

It extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League to five points but manager Jurgen Klopp would have expected more after taking a lead inside three minutes through Sadio Mane.

He would have been even less impressed with a number of penalty claims which referee Martin Atkinson waved away and positively apoplectic about the marking which allowed Harry Maguire to equalise in first-half added time.

Leicester, who weathered the early storm and came on strong in the second half, ended a three-match losing streak with a determined performance.
