Wout Faes scored two own goals as Liverpool came from behind to beat Leicester in their final Premier League game of 2022.

The Foxes made the ideal start when they took the lead after just four minutes as poor defending by the hosts allowed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to race through on goal before firing past Alisson.

Both sides had opportunities to score after that in an open and entertaining first half but Liverpool's equaliser came in hugely fortuitous circumstances.

With seven minutes to go the break, Faes stuck out a boot to try and divert Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross behind but instead the ball looped over goalkeeper Danny Ward and into the back of the net.

It got worse for Faes and Leicester seconds before the break when the defender again managed to put the ball into the back of his own net, this time firing in after Darwin Nunez's chipped shot had bounced back off the post.

Reds defender Virgil van Dijk later admitted: "At times, I thought we were poor today. It's a cliche but it's important to get the three points and win. We tried to get in the game but we weren't good enough and we know that. We won, which is positive, but there are plenty of things we have to improve on. "We know they have quality and speed up front, guys who can play the ball in behind. A couple of times it was dangerous, a couple of times it was offside. That was their gameplan. Job done."

On whether Liverpool sensed it wasn't their night, he added: "If you go on the pitch with that feeling, you are already behind. We had a very good game in Birmingham the other day and we tried to keep that going. At times, we were too quick and lost the ball in difficult situations. We were open and they have players who can take advantage. We have to take the three points, be confident and move on."
