Leicester City stunned former league champions – Liverpool with three late goals to secure all 3 points during their Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.
Maddison, Vardy and Barnes were all on target as Leicester City secured a 3-1 win over Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah broke the deadlock for the visitors 67 minutes into the game with a fine strike into the top-left corner to put Liverpool in front.

Before Maddison leveled scores for the home side. He curled a strike in directly from a free-kick on the edge of the box.
The goal is initially disallowed for offside against Amartey. However, VAR looked at the incident and deems that the defender was played onside by the boot of Firmino.
81 minutes on the clock, a Alisson allowed Vardy to double the lead for the home side.
Leicester took the lead as Tielemans launched a ball over the top that troubled Kabak and Alisson. The keeper rushed off his line and collides with the debutant.
Vardy was presented with the ball and an open goal, which he needed no second invitation to bury into an empty net.
