James Milner scored a 95th-minute penalty to keep up the winning pace already initiated by Liverpool in extraordinary fashion with a 2-1 win over Leicester.
Milner stepped up to send Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from the spot after Sadio Mane was fouled in the Leicester area by Marc Albrighton. The victory extended the winning run of liverpool to 17 Premier League games.
The hosts had not been firing on all cylinders all afternoon and owed a lot to Milner’s brilliant assist to hold a half-time lead, with the veteran’s wonderful 50-yard ball outside of Jonny Evans reaching Mane, who then slotted past the onrushing Schmeichel (41).
But substitute Ayoze Perez made an immediate impact to turn the game on its head when his low through-ball caught out Virgil van Dijk, and James Maddison took it in his stride before beating Adrian (80).
