Published on October 5, 2019, Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League season was maintained with a dramatic 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday.
James Milner's 95th-minute penalty sealed the win, maintaining Liverpool's 17th straight Premier League win and opening up an eight-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.
The win came despite a spirited performance from Leicester, who had equalized through James Maddison's 80th-minute goal and threatened to earn a point on Brendan Rodgers's first visit to Anfield since being sacked by Liverpool four years ago.
However, Milner stayed cool with almost the last kick of the game to seal the win, which was Liverpool's eighth in as many league games this season.
The drama did not end there as angry scenes erupted after the final whistle, with players from both sides squaring up in a heated exchange.
