Jurgen Klopp slams 'not good enough' Liverpool stars after dismal 1-0 defeat to Leicester and admits 'it's a big gap to City' as title hopes suffer blow

Jurgen Klopp tore into his Liverpool flops after the shock 1-0 defeat at Leicester that put a big dent in their title hopes.

The Reds will fall nine points behind Manchester City – who beat Leicester 6-3 on Boxing Day – if the champions win at Brentford on Wednesday, after somehow losing to a Foxes side without six defenders, and who had kept only two clean sheets in the league all season.

It would surely have been different had Kasper Schmeichel not saved Mohamed Salah’s first-half penalty.

Leicester rode their luck and substitute Ademola Lookman scored the winner in the second half, meaning Liverpool could be 12 points adrift of City when they face Chelsea on Sunday.
