Robbie Savage reacts on Twitter to Leicester City’s victory over Liverpool

Indeed, it was Mignolet who kept the scores goalless throughout the first half, making one routine stop from Mahrez before denying the Algerian’s stunning curling effort with a fingertip save 10 minutes before the interval.

The phase of play was so slick that the foreign commentator was unable to keep up with who had the ball, as he repeatedly blurted out the names of Vardy, Okazaki, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante as he ball pinged between them.

“At the end, the game is decided by a world class goal from Jamie Vardy”, Klopp said. “He watched the ball arrive, watched the opponent and watched the goalkeeper”.

“And this opened the match, we continued to press and we wanted to be solid behind”.

Liverpool boasted the majority of the possession over Leicester on Tuesday, and had 14 attempts on goal to Leicester’s 13, but the Foxes were by far the more clinical side on the evening.

“On Saturday we have to run, run and run a lot”, he said.

“Sooner or later we ll lose a match but that s not important”.

“We have to find the right solution and for this we have to fight for this. If Manchester City fight more than us, well done to them”.

“I don’t (think I’ve scored better). I was close to clapping my hands to be honest but I just felt too bad at that moment”.

But Ranieri remained coy about Vardy’s contract talks, joking: “I don’t know this, I’m not (a) manager”. Given that I’m used to American sports, I’ll just assume he was on some kind of super-HGH this offseason.

For Liverpool, defeat means Jurgen Klopp’s men are 11 points adrift of the top four and six points behind Manchester United in fifth.

He explained that they have had games where they have “done it much better” but bemoaned that they haven’t “often enough to have won games in a row” and said it’s their “situation” and they “have to work on it”.

“Now we are five points from Leicester City so it is going to be a hard time in the few weeks to go and we need to get as many points as we can”.

The second half saw Leicester pushing forward and they made their pressure tell on the hour mark when Jamie Vardy fired into the top corner from the edge of the 18-yard box, 1-0.
