Leicester v Liverpool - story of the match

Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho gave the visitors a 2-0 lead which was halved by Shinji Okazaki's goal, where he appeared to impede Reds goalkeeper Mignolet.

Jordan Henderson restored the two-goal lead before Mignolet gifted Vardy a goal before saving a penalty which he had conceded for a foul on the striker.
