Leicester mesmerise Liverpool with tiki-taka to show Premier League title credentials
IF THERE are any doubters still questioning Leicester's position as leaders of the Premier League, they might care to take a look at the passage of play from the 70th minute of their clash against Liverpool on Tuesday.
Leicester beat Liverpool 2-0 on Tuesday night to stay top of the Premier League
A mesmerising move started by Danny Simpson lasted 12 seconds, involved six players taking 15 touches and making 10 passes.
Tika-taka at the King Power Stadium? Who would have believed that at the start of the season.
It ended with a back heel from Danny Drinkwater to Shinji Okazaki, who went down in the area under a clumsy challenge from Mamadou Sakho.
"He has been fantastic for us this season, brilliant in every game he's played. And while he has had a few games where he didn't score his work rate for the team was still there to be admired," said Albrighton.
"To be in the stadium and witness that goal [on Tuesday] was something special. It'll probably go down as one of the Premier League's all-time great goals.
"When he came in the dressing room everyone just gave him a round of applause."
Drinkwater said: "It was one of those moments that take your breath away but the season he is having is frightening."
