What were the key moments in Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Leicester?
Here's Robertson.
He's going wide to get past Ricciardo, he's found Mane! And they've found a second! Good pressure on the ball by Iheanacho, he's stolen it away from Maddison! Iheanacho come back, Maddison didn't finish it, there's London!
Leicester 1, Liverpool 2 was the final score here at the King Power Stadium. But statistically, Leicester had the better of the game. They had more attempts, more attempts on target, more passes. They edged the possession, 49% possession, the lowest that Liverpool have had all season. They've managed at least 63 in their opening three games of this season. They did run slightly further, so it was a win, but a hard-fought one for Jurgen Klopp's men. Sadio Mane and James Milner are with Greg Whelan.
Guys, very well done. James, a fourth straight win, but just how big a battle did you face out there to get it in the end?
Yeah, massive, and we knew it would be.
How did Alisson's mistake impact the game?
It wasn't a good performance from us in most aspects, really, pressing, defending, keeping the ball. It was tough work, but that's not taking anything away from them either. They're a good team and they showed that. We knew it would be tough, but sometimes you have to win ugly. We did that today. Plenty to improve on again, and we need to improve after the international break. Hopefully everyone comes back. but again, if you're winning games and you're not happy with your performances, that's where you need to be.
Is this the kind of game you might not have held on to winning previous seasons?
Who knows, you can't really say that, but I think you can see the way we know we can play and the way we've played the last couple of games, just finding a way to get that result when things aren't going for you, and that's what you have to do sometimes in the Premier League.
Sadio, a fourth goal in as many games for you, a good start, but do you feel you're simply carrying on where you left off last season?
Yeah, of course, I think... It's very important to score for the team. We only try to do what will make us better as a team. I think today we played very, very good football.
What were the statistics that highlighted Leicester's performance?
And also I think the attitude makes a difference because it was a very, very tough game for us. But we keep believing and try to fight together. And finally, I think we deserve to win this game and also these three points.
Sadio, what credit would you give for your colleague Andy Robertson for the hard work he put in to create that chance for you?
I think not only me. Of course I should do it and I'm trying to do and also look how work James do all the time and try to push me all the time. Sometimes I struggle but I shout all the time and then I try to do everything to come back to help. But I think it's important, it's important as a team to do this kind of job together and that's it.
When you look back over the game as a goal, you scored early of course, but how important perhaps was the timing of the second goal that Firmino scored just before half-time?
I think it was very, very important, this goal, because we were a little bit struggling at the moment and when he scored the second goal we were a little bit... Relaxing in the second half after 1-1 and it became difficult but I think it's normal because we had a face. It was a good team of Leicester and they did very well. We recognise that also.
James, that is four wins out of four. It's early days, I know, but just how good a position do you feel that puts you in going into this first international break?
What did Liverpool players say about their performance after the match?
Well, as good a position as you could be in after four games, obviously, winning them all. But, like I said, it's a long season, a long way to go, and there's plenty we can improve on. We've seen that over the last few games. It's pleasing how we've defended, pleasing how we've fought out and got those results, but there's a lot more to come from this team, I think we know that, but it's early days in the season, I don't think anyone's hit top gear yet, so it's important that we know where we are and where we can improve and where we can hopefully get to.
