da supremo: Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Leicester City, the first competitive fixture at the new-look Anfield, is yet to enter the second half but already looks set to be a multi-goal thriller.
da bwin: Indeed, despite the title-winning Foxes looking more than resilient in the opening few minutes, a series of direct forward passes down the left-hand side saw the ball land at the feet of Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian then took a step inside and produced a very shrewd reverse shot, which wrong-footed Kasper Schmeichel and delicately rolled into the bottom corner.
Jurgen Klopp’s boys continued to mount on the pressure after the early goal and Sadio Mane soon popped up with a second for the Reds.
Consequentially, Liverpool supporters were absolutely buzzing on social media. Here are some of the best reactions to their 2-0 lead.
But Leicester are by no means out of this one. Jamie Vardy capitalised on a horrendous error from makeshift defender Lucas Leiva to peg one back for the reigning champions. Needless to say, the mood has changed a little bit on Twitter:
Will we see more goals after the interval? A high-octane opening 45 minutes suggests we probably will!
