Pictures: Leicester stun Liverpool in first game after Ranieri sacking
- Published
Leicester City produced a superb display to beat Liverpool 3-1 at home - a win that helped them move out of the Premier League bottom three
But the game was also a chance for many fans to say thank you and goodbye to the man who led them to last season's remarkable title triumph, Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked last Thursday
Leicester's first goal came from Jamie Vardy, who collected Marc Albrighton's precise long pass before racing clear and finishing low past Liverpool keep Simon Mignolet to score his second goal in a week
The second was an absolute cracker from Vardy's England team-mate Danny Drinkwater, who showed superb technique to lash home his first goal of the campaign from outside the box
Vardy sealed the win with a glancing header from Christian Fuchs' cross in the second half
The goals were the first Leicester have scored in the league in 2017 and ended a run of five straight top-flight defeats in spectacular fashion
Philippe Coutinho's goal after half-time wasn't enough for Liverpool though, who have now lost five of their past seven matches in all competitions
