Leicester City turned back the clock in their first game since Claudio Ranieri was sacked to overcome visiting Liverpool 3-1 in a resounding win at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City got back to winning ways in what was their first match since the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri, as two goals from Jamie Vardy either side of a Danny Drinkwater screaming long range volley saw the champions see off Liverpool 3-1 at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
As Leicester City finally played like the Premier League champions, here are the best tweets to come in the aftermath of an emphatic Foxes win on Monday.

Liverpool fans were left disappointed after what was another loss to a team in the bottom half this season:
NONE OF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE YET SOME FANS WILL ACCEPT IT. WE ARE A CLUB IN BAD WAY AND THATS THE TRUTH EMBARRASSING LAUGHING STOCK FC.

Lose to a relegation threatened team. Beat a top 6 side. Players say they’ve turned corner. Rinse, repeat. The new Liverpool Way.

Liverpool will never win anything with this defence. So inconsistent and shocking at times

This either means that this entire Leicester 11 are absolute arseholes or Liverpool are VERY bad.
Both plausible.

Liverpool trained for 16 days to lose 3-1 to a manager less team that has never scored a PL goal in 2017 and only had 4 days to train ???
