Mohamed Salah, who has resumed his normal work by scoring goals for fun, was kept quiet by Leicester City defenders today. The Egyptian has been operating as a striker this season and occupied the same position against the Foxes too.

After an intense start to the game which saw Leicester trailing, Puel's side showed great composure to abrupt Liverpool's gameplans. The 26-year-old was not given time and space as he was marked tightly by Maguire, who had an overall phenomenal game.

The English centre-back was in the right place at the right time and cut down plenty of crosses by intervening them. Not only did Maguire cut down the passage, but Chilwell was able to rescind the flow through the left flank for Leicester.

Jordan Henderson played in an unorthodox position, and he lacked the cutting edge in the creative part of the game despite being one of the standout performers for the Reds. Besides, Xherdan Shaqiri did not look sharp which helped Leicester City's course.
