– A slot kick like no other, he hadn’t managed that in 99 new attempts, says Heieren Hansen when she analyzed Fae’s own goal. The game ticked towards half-time, and Leicester had good control of the game. Then Trent Alexander-Arnold hit a cross into the box, and there stood Faes. Incredibly, he managed to kick the ball backwards with a screw that went over the head of his own goalkeeper, and fell into the opposite corner. And that was just the start of the stopper’s terrible night. Because just before the break, he was again in the wrong place at the wrong time, and put a rebound off the post into his own net. – Any footballer at this level should extend that ball out, was the harsh verdict from Viaplay expert Pål-Andre Helland. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher has himself experienced scoring two own goals in one match, then against Manchester United themselves. On Sky Sports’ live update of the match, he humorously wrote: – I did it in a much bigger match, if you’re going to do it first, do it properly! The two own goals were also absolutely decisive, because it turned the game around for Liverpool, and eventually won 2-1. DESPAIR: Wout Faes together with Boubakary Soumaré.

Last season he scored two own goals against YMCA. – Just when it happens, it’s a terrible feeling. When you score two own goals, there is a feeling in your body that cannot be described, says Lereng to news. Leicester started clearly the best at Anfield, and after just four minutes they were rewarded for their efforts. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was allowed to march all alone in half of Liverpool’s half of the pitch, and easily scored 1-0 alone with the goalkeeper. – Incredibly weak defensive play. Look at the distances in the rear link, says Viaplay expert Lars Tjærnås. – That was like a hot knife through butter. How easy was that? I said that before the game. Liverpool are struggling defensively and we saw that today, says Jamie Carragher for Sky Sports. This was the seventh time this year Liverpool have conceded a goal before five minutes have been played. According to Opta, it is the most during a calendar year in Premier League history. They now share the poor record with Blackburn from 2009 and Sunderland from 2000. NOT SATISFIED: Jürgen Klopp was hardly satisfied with his own defensive play Photo: CARL RECINE / Reuters Núñez continues to miss Liverpool’s big buy last summer, Darwin Núñez, burned several big chances against Aston Villa three days ago. Against Leicester he continued to do the same. In the second half alone, the Uruguayan missed three big opportunities. – He could have had a hat trick tonight. We said the same against Manchester City and against Aston Villa, says Carragher on Sky Sports’ broadcast. After the match, Núñez shook his head at all the missed chances, even though Liverpool held on and won after a bad day at work. But Liverpool won their fourth game in a row in the Premier League and took three very important points in the battle for the top four.
