Liverpool's title defence is over, said manager Jurgen Klopp after his side's late capitulation at Leicester resulted in their fifth loss in seven games.
The Reds were 1-0 up with 12 minutes of the 90 remaining before a succession of errors saw them lose 3-1.
They are fourth, 13 points behind leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Klopp said: "I don't think we can close the gap. We are not worrying about the title, we are not silly."

His team have 24 fewer points than they had at this stage last season, with injuries, particularly in defence, taking their toll on the team.
