What did you say, James? Maddison seen talking to Mohamed Salah before Liverpool star MISSES penalty against Leicester - as Jurgen Klopp says 'everyone tries that' to disrupt forward

Tuesday was a night to forget for Liverpool and in particular Mohamed Salah as they lost 1-0 at Leicester City.

Ademola Lookman was the Foxes' hero with a 59th-minute strike to stun the visitors at the King Power Stadium.

However, things could have been so different for the Reds had Salah converted an early penalty.
