Former England striker turned popular football pundit Gary Lineker has showered praise on Liverpool via Twitter after the Reds earned an emphatic 3-0 win against Leicester City on Sunday at Anfield.

Both Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino found the net while an own goal from Jonny Evans meant Liverpool climbed to second in the Premier League table, equal on points with Tottenham Hotspur and only separated by goal difference.

Lineker has hailed Liverpool’s result as an ’emphatic victory’. He feels that it has been an ‘exceptional display’ from the Reds, despite the squad being ravaged by injuries.

Well played @LFC. An empathic victory from a superb side. Massive credit to Jürgen Klopp for conjuring up such an exceptional display despite the injuries.
