England Championship: Liverpool continues to knock on the door of the Champions League
Liverpool V continued its pressure on Newcastle III and Manchester United IV by defeating the injured Leicester City 3-0 at the end of the thirty-sixth stage of the England Football Championship, in a match in which the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah starred through three assists.
Liverpool raised its tally to 65 points, one point behind Newcastle and United, but the latter two played a lesser match. On the other hand, Leicester's balance froze at 30 points in the penultimate position, to remain in actual danger of falling.
And the victory is the seventh in a row for Liverpool, so it breaks, thus knocking on the door of the Champions League, hoping to stumble for the third and fourth place holders, as it remains for it to play two matches, the first at home against Aston Villa next Saturday, then ends its season by visiting Southampton, who fell to the “Championship” league on the current 28.
Leicester, who turned the tables on everyone in 2016 when it was crowned champion, but is currently threatened with bidding farewell to the Premier League, started the match well and hit between the three woods twice. But Liverpool was the first to score when Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah lifted a perfect ball at the far post, which was easily followed by the unmarked Curtis Jones into the net (33).
Leicester did not recover from the shock until Curtis added himself the second three minutes later, with another pass from Salah, to break the offside trap and deposit the ball into the net.
Liverpool continued its advantage in the second half and succeeded in adding the third goal when Salaj moved a direct free kick towards Trent Alexander-Arnold, who fired it into the roof of the Leicester City net, finally deciding the result in favor of his team (71).
Salah almost crowned his brilliant efforts by scoring the fourth goal, but he strangely shot outside the three sticks after being alone with the Leicester City goalkeeper (77).
