Jamie Vardy had given the Foxes a crucial lead against Liverpool but Leicester’s players had enough hunger to continue to probe during the game’s early exchanges.

A set piece for the home side lurked around in the box for much longer than necessary before James Milner finally got rid of it, but his clearance only managed to find Danny Drinkwater.

The Foxes midfielder volleyed the clearance from range and scored a sublime goal while all Simon Mignolet and the rest of the Reds could do was watch on in awe. Drinkwater’s goal was only Leicester’s second in all of 2017 in the Premier League but it will certainly go down as a contender for the best of the season.

Honourable mentions: Idrissa Gueye (vs. Sunderland), Cesc Fabregas (first goal vs. Swansea City), Patrick van Aanholt (vs. Middlesbrough), Michael Keane (vs. Hull City)
