Jamie Vardy and Leicester City provided a thrilling reminder of the form that took them to the Premier League title last season four days too late for dethroned boss Claudio Ranieri, as a limp Liverpool were dispatched 3-1 at the King Power Stadium.
A home crowd peppered with banners paying tribute to the amiable Italian, who was sacked last Thursday following a run of five consecutive top-flight defeats, had no cause to approach mutiny as their side located an intensity and drive sorely lacking over recent weeks. Tow goals from Vardy on either side of Danny Drinkwater's wonder strike gave Leicester a 3-goal cushion by the hour mark.
Coutinho scored a consolation goal for the Reds at the end.
