Liverpool survived a very early scare on Boxing Day to cast Leicester aside with a 3-1 victory at Anfield.
After Jordan Ayew threatened a stunning result just six minutes in with a shock opener, the hosts fought back to restore the parity, finally doing so on the cusp of half-time through Cody Gakpo.
Within four second half minutes Curtis Jones had given the Reds the lead for the first time in the game, with a brief VAR check confirming the on-field decision.
With just a goal in the game the result could never truly be certain, or at least not until Mohamed Salah made it 3-1 just eight minutes from time.
