Brendan Rodgers’s Leicester City didn’t do Liverpool a favour in the end yesterday.
Well, Brendan Rodgers couldn’t do former club Liverpool a favour last night.
Rodgers’s Leicester City side failed to take points off Premier League leaders Manchester City, who beat the Foxes 1-0 at the Etihad courtesy of Vincent Kompany’s stunning strike.
Denying Pep Guardiola’s side the victory would have seen Liverpool go into the final game of the season needing a win at home to Wolves to make them Premier League champions, but City, who visit Brighton on Sunday, have it in their own hands again.
There was a brief reunion between Rodgers and his former Liverpool player Raheem Sterling on the field at full-time.
It’ll be Sterling’s second successive Premier League title if City hold on.
He came ever so close to winning it with the Reds under Rodgers in 2014, in the year that the Sky Blues, then under Manuel Pellegrini, beat the Anfield side by a point.
The 24-year-old left Merseyside to join City in an acrimonious and controversial £49 million transfer back in 2015.
