1. Liverpool Vs Leicester City
Liverpool’s match against Leicester City was a classic thriller match, both the sides high on intensity were playing to and fro against each other and indeed it was an entertaining game.
The Reds scored the opener through Sadio Mane’s strike in the 40th minute and from there they did dominate the game until James Maddison scored an equalizer through a sensational strike.
With this, the final ten minutes of the game was really intense but a last-minute penalty to Liverpool after Marc Albrighton trips Mane on the floor enabled James Milner to convert the score to 2-1.
The luck over here was that Liverpool got a penalty just in the final minute of the game, and moreover, there were doubts on the foul given to Liverpool as Mane was accused of diving and exaggerating the contact.
