90'+3
PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL! Oh my... Albrighton kicks the back of Mane's leg inside the box and Chris Kavanagh points to the spot! It's going to VAR... what's the decision? IT'S GIVEN!
90'
FOUR minutes will be added on!
90'
It's so unlike Alexander-Arnold - his free-kick beats everyone and sails out for a goal-kick.
89'
Yellow card! Choudhury takes one for the team, taking Salah down with a cynical foul. A yellow card, no question. Liverpool have a free-kick in a wide position. This is dangerous...

Over! Nearly the winner! Van Dijk is up so early to meet Robertson's corner delivery but his header is always rising and fails to test Schmeichel.
85'
Lovren rises highest to Alexander Arnold's corner and heads it into the ground and Pereira clears it behind for another corner.
84'
Now, how do Liverpool respond? By winning a corner, that's how. Origi, now playing on the left, knocking the ball off Pereira.
81'
Leicester stayed in the game despite Liverpool's dominance and now they have their reward. Tense times at Anfield now.
80'
GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Leicester: How crucial could this moment prove to be in the title race? Maddison has levelled the scores for Leicester! Perez skips away from Fabinho, laying it off to the Englishman and he rifles it past Adrian!

Salah overcooks a through ball to Mane on the break. He's been wasteful at times this afternoon. Not been his day.

Leicester sub: That will be Praet's parting shot as he makes way for Perez.

That's not far away! Praet, who is just about to be replaced, almost levels the game! The ball falls awkwardly in front of him but he shows great technique to keep his shot hard and low, and it almost creeps in the bottom corner. In the end it's just a couple of inches wide.
71'
Shot! Wijnaldum uses his body well to create some space for himself to drive into. He lets fly with a shot from 20 yards but it's comfortable for Schmeichel.
69'
Yellow card! Evans has a hold of Salah and deservedly goes into the book.

Schmeichel saves! The game is becoming stretched now, as Liverpool create another decent opportunity. Robertson combines with Salah to break down the left but his shot is at good height for Schmeichel who makes the stop.
66'
Leicester chance! Albrighton lifts a brilliant ball over the top of the Liverpool defence for Vardy to run onto. Classic Leicester. Vardy, however, takes a heavy touch and Adrian races off his line to take the ball from his feet.
