    Claudio Ranieri rolls the tactical dice for a final time....and comes up with a number 19. That's £9m man Andrej Kramaric who hasn't made much impact since arriving in January.

    Off comes *gasp* Riyad Mahrez. With Vardy and now Mahrez hooked that's Leicester deprived of 29 goals....

    After probing mostly down the right flank, Liverpool's goal ended up coming from down the left! You can see how Roberto Firmino (11) picked out Christian Benteke (9) to finish.

    Right then, it's time for Leicester to answer that question that everyone has been asking - what are they made of when the going gets tough? No instant response. Well, apart from Wes Morgan kicking a lump out of a Liverpool opponent.

    "Leicester have scored in every game this season, could the run come to an end today? It was a good goal from Christian Benteke, who stretched to finish it for Liverpool."

    Christian Benteke

    What a response! Moments after being discarded as a lost hope by Reds fan Chris Wright (see below), Christian Benteke responds with the opening goal!

    The Belgium striker, who is only on the pitch as a substitute because of Divock Origi's first-half injury, stretches out his right boot to stroke in Roberto Firmino's pull-back. Quality pick out by the Brazilian.
