Curtis Jones scored a brace for Liverpool before Trent Alexander-Arnold added the third goal to lead Liverpool to a 3-0 win over Leicester City on Monday night, Sportivationng.com reports.
Liverpool are fifth in the table on 65 points after 36 games, one behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have a game in hand over their rivals.
Leicester are 19th on 30 points, two behind Everton in 17th spot with two games to go.
Leicester welcomed central defender Jonny Evans back into the starting line-up for the first time since October, but the three-time Premier League winner with Manchester United couldn't instil the defensive discipline his side needed.
After a sluggish opening, Jones broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute with a superb first-time finish from Mohamed Salah's cross after Leicester's high defensive line was caught out by a long ball over the top from Liverpool keeper Alisson.
The 22-year-old midfielder put the ball in the net again three minutes later and once more it was Salah who set him up, with Jones taking a touch on the turn before rifling home.
The home crowd did their best to get their team back in the game and Harvey Barnes went close seven minutes into the second half, but Alisson pulled off a tremendous save to keep the ball out.
Alexander-Arnold then snuffed out any hopes of a comeback with a brilliant third after a free kick was touched into his path by Salah in the 71st minute, and he applied a thunderous finish to quiet the home fans once and for all.
Salah should have added a fourth in the 79th minute when Cody Gakpo put him through, but the Egyptian surprisingly dragged his shot wide of the left-hand post with only the keeper to beat.
Liverpool bagged a seventh league victory in a row, but manager Juergen Klopp is unconvinced his side can reel in either Manchester United or Newcastle above them. (Reuters
