#4 Mane proves his worth again while others struggle
In a game of fine margins, Sadio Mane was easily Liverpool's best performer. Although his finishing is inconsistent and decision-making more so at times, the Senegalese winger continues to prove his worth in games like these - hotly-contested battles where chances are few and far between.
His solo effort to break the deadlock after just two minutes was excellent. Dancing past opposition challenges before slotting beyond Schmeichel into the bottom corner, he took his goal well and provided an early morale boost for Liverpool, one which they ultimately failed to fully utilize.
It was Liverpool's earliest league goal since April 2016 and he continued being a nuisance throughout. Two key passes and dribbles, fouled on four occasions and happy to put in a defensive shift out of possession, he was unlucky not to double their lead with a free header shortly afterward.
As for his creative teammates, both displayed flashes but were effectively isolated by an organized Leicester backline throughout. Mohamed Salah's 69.6% passing accuracy was a team low, while the Egyptian forward found himself dispossessed on seven occasions.
Roberto Firmino had two promising chances saved but should have done better and also found himself dispossessed often.
