Liverpool had appeared to be set for another difficult evening after gifting Leicester City with perhaps their easiest goal in the 2022/23 campaign.
One foolish turn evidently deserves another, however, as a comedic error from Wout Faes handed the Reds an equaliser before the half-time whistle (before then adding another Anfield goal to his name), inviting a handful of journalists online to react with incredulity.
Has to be said that the Wout Faes – own goal was Benny Hill – material (sorry for the reference young followers) https://t.co/BeXqEMNky6

I don’t remember Liverpool announcing Faes?

Three points for the Merseysiders before the turn of the new year would be huge for Jurgen Klopp’s men, bringing them to within a point of fifth-placed Manchester United.
