Salah’s saved penalty costs the Reds
Ademola Lookman came off the bench to consign Liverpool to a shock 10 defeat at Leicester after Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved.
It was a miserable night for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they failed to close the six-point gap to Premier League leaders Manchester City and their wastefulness was to blame.
Salah’s first-half penalty was saved by the brilliant Kasper Schmeichel but he did not test the goalkeeper from the rebound and nor did Sadio Mane when through after the break.
Lookman punished Liverpool with a fine goal just before the hour mark and Brendan Rodgers’ depleted side held on for a memorable win that moves them back up to ninth.
