Liverpool have now won
17 consecutive Premier League games
James Milner's injury-time
penalty earned a dramatic win over in-form Leicester City and maintained
Liverpool's flawless start to the Premier League season.
Brendan Rodgers' side
looked to be on course for a hard-earned point on his return to Anfield after
James Maddison's low finish 10 minutes from time equalised Sadio Mane's
40th-minute strike.
And then, with the clock
ticking into stoppage time, a communication breakdown between Leicester keeper
Kasper Schmeichel and substitute Marc Albrighton ended with the latter
bringing down Mane.
The penalty was awarded
after consultation with the video assistant referee and Liverpool manager
Jurgen Klopp celebrated wildly as Rodgers turned away in despair.
Leicester will feel they had done enough
to earn a point and their frustrations boiled over at the final whistle, with
substitute Ayoze Perez involved in angry exchanges with several
Liverpool players - who
were celebrating increasing their lead over Manchester City at the top of the
table to eight points.
