Salah caps perfect Liverpool response after Ayew opener
Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew opened the scoring against the run of play after only six minutes for Leicester City, who were without Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
Liverpool fought to get back into the game, but were met with frustration as both Andy Robertson and Salah hit the frame of the goal in the first half.
Just when it appeared that the Reds would go into the break one goal behind, Cody Gakpo scored a fantastic equaliser with a sensational effort from outside the box to level the score.
Liverpool continued their dominance in the second half and were rewarded for their endeavour when Curtis Jones poked home from close range. The goal endured a lengthy VAR check but was eventually allowed to stand when given the all-clear.
The Reds' night was eventually completed when Salah found the back of the net with a precise finish into the bottom corner to make it 3-1 to Liverpool, shushing any worries about a 'Christmas curse" after facing backlash for celebrating the holiday season with his family.
The win keeps Liverpool top of the Premier League table, seven points ahead of chasing Chelsea, who dropped points in their loss to Fulham.
