The assist has the potential to emerge as the season of the assist this season. It was the only bit of joy for Liverpool who now find themselves staring at the probably to slumping into 7th place come the end of this round of matches.
Despite being in charge of the encounter on the day, Liverpool unravelled after James Maddison scored through a freekick. An appalling Alisson Becker error saw him and Kabak collide to see Vardy see Leicester City take the lead before Harvey Barnes completed the trouncing with a third.
The club is currently 30 points worse off from where it was last season with any chances off challenging for the title having vanished up in smoke now. The club only has the Champions League and top 4 to fight for at the moment, two battles the side could end up easily losing if things don’t turnaround at the earliest for them.
