Liverpool attained a semblance of revenge for the mid-week loss in the cup game against Leicester as the Reds prevailed by an odd goal in five. The important takeaways from tonight.
Liverpool buck the win-less trend
Liverpool headed into this game on the back of a 4 game winless streak (if such things can be called...
A win! A win!
We'll take that, won't we? A first three points for the Reds in what seems like forever, as we dispatched Jamie Vardy and his band of merry men.
