Liverpool looked set for another difficult night after handing Leicester City perhaps their easiest goal of the 2022/23 campaign.
One silly twist evidently deserves another, though, as a comic blunder by Wout Faes gave the Reds an equalizer before the half-time whistle (before adding another Anfield goal to their name), inviting a handful of journalists. online to react with disbelief.
It must be said that the Wout Faes – own goal by Benny Hill – material (sorry for the reference young fans) https://t.co/BeXqEMNky6

Three points for the Merseysiders before the turn of the year would be huge for Jurgen Klopp’s men, putting them within a point of fifth-place Manchester United.
