Match report: Liverpool rout Leicester to move 13 points clear

Liverpool moved 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a stunning 4-0 win at second-placed Leicester City on Boxing Day.

A consummate away performance from the Reds saw them control the first-versus-second contest from the first whistle until last, with Jürgen Klopp’s only regret at half-time surely that his side had only scored once for all their dominance, through Roberto Firmino’s 31st-minute header.

A three-goal burst in the space of eight second-half minutes gave the scoreline a more accurate appearance, with James Milner’s penalty being added to by goals from Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold that rounded off brilliant moves in style.
