Hong Kong: Liverpool lifted the Premier League Asia Trophy with a 2-1 win over Leicester City at the Hong Kong Stadium on Saturday.
Islam Slimani gave Leicester the lead in the 12th minute courtesy of Christian Fuch’s cross into the box, but Leicester’s joy was shortlived as Mohamed Salah found the equaliser just eight minutes later.
Marc Albrighton’s effort in the 32nd minute nearly gave the Foxes the advantage again but his shot whizzed just past the post.
A minute before the break, Philippe Coutinho’s shot found the back of the net, handing Jurgen Klopp’s side the advantage going into the second half.
Leicester had a few opportunities at the restart but solid defending from the Reds denied them a comeback and the Premier League Asia Trophy was Liverpool’s.
