Liverpool secured a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings after a comeback 3-1 victory against Leicester City.

The Foxes stunned Anfield by taking the lead in the first half thanks to a brilliant goal from Jordan Ayew.

However, just before halftime, Cody Gakpo broke through and scored the equalizer.

Curtis Jones put the leads ahead for the first time in the game, and Mohamed Salah added a third goal.

Liverpool now have 42 points after 17 games, with one game in hand.

Chelsea are second with 35 points after a shocking 2-1 home loss to Fulham.

Arsenal will play Ipswich Town on Friday night, hoping to finish second.
