It was provided by man-of-the-match Mahrez who curled home an exquisite 71st minute free-kick to restore our lead.
Victory was then confirmed six minutes from time by Sterling who, on his 200th appearance for the Club, lashed home a drive off the bar which was awarded by goal-line technology.

But the champions kept our composure to secure a precious three point haul from a testing trip to Merseyside.
