Egypt star Mohamed Salah continued his superb goal-scoring form for Liverpool, heading the Reds in front in their 3-2 English Premier League victory over Leicester City at King Power Stadium on Saturday.
After hitting the equalizer in the 1-1 draw against Burnley last week, Salah notched his fourth Premier League goal for Liverpool with an excellent header at the far post from Jordan Henderson s cross near the edge of the area.
The 24-year-old winger was also on target for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, scoring against Sevilla in a 2-2 draw at Anfield Stadium.
Keeper Simon Mignolet was another hero as he saved a late penalty to secure the victory.
The Belgian keeper fouled Vardy with a mistimed fly-kick when desperately trying to clear his lines but, having been booked, got up to parry the England striker s spot-kick as Liverpool clung on in a game where they twice enjoyed two-goal leads.
Mignolet has now saved five of the past eight penalties he s faced.
"I count points, not penalty saves," the goalkeeper said afterwards.
The visitors dominated the first half and opened the scoring through Mo Salah s far-post header from Philippe Coutinho s cross a minute after the Egyptian missed a sitter. The goal was Salah s sixth of the season.
Coutinho looked back to his best and increased the lead with a curled 25-metre free-kick inside Casper Schmeichel s post on 23 minutes but Liverpool conceded just before the break when Shinji Okazaki converted a knockdown despite strong appeals for a foul on the keeper.
Goals flow at both ends whenever Liverpool play and no sooner had Jordan Henderson restored their two-goal advantage than Vardy headed Leicester s second before spurning the chance of an equaliser.
Even then, Leicester could have had another penalty when Can handled.
