Liverpool fans praised for sh*thouse taunt as Faes scores two own goals in Reds win at Leicester

Liverpool fans were praised for a sh*thouse taunt as Wout Faes scores two own goals in the Reds 2-1 win at Leicester on Friday.

The Foxes looked to have started well when they took a surprise lead just four minutes in after dreadful defending by the hosts saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall race through on goal before putting sending the ball past Alisson.

The game become more open and entertaining with both sides having chances to score throughout the first half, but it was Liverpool who got a fortunate equaliser.

With seven minutes left on the clock until half time, Faes could be seen sticking out a boot to try and divert a cross sent in by Trent Alexander-Arnold behind, only for the 24 year old to instead loop it over goalkeeper Danny Ward and into the back of the net.

It got worse for Faes and Leicester moments later when he again managed to put the ball into the back of his own net, running towards goal, and putting the ball in after Darwin Nunez’s chipped shot had bounced back off the post.

Liverpool really should have put the game to bed with another goal in the second half, with Mohamed Salah seeing a good opportunity go to waste.

His effort went wide of the post as he had just Ward to beat, while Nunez failed to make the most of a couple of decent opportunities, some of which he blasted over.

Faes’ two own goals handed Liverpool the win that moves them to within two points of the top four in the Premier League standings.

Meanwhile a loss for Leicester, sees them stay 13th and four points above the relegation zone.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to Sky Sports: “Obviously the early goal we concede is not helpful. We are here for results. We won the game, three points, that’s very important. In our best phases, when we were super stable, we had performances similar to tonight, maybe not exactly like that.

“But we lost balls in the wrong moments when you play a counter-attacking team, we were too open in these moments. We had to change the formation this morning, which is never helpful. We had good spells, forced them to score the own goals – a pity for the boy. The second half was better, we were higher up but they still had their moments because we were too open. We have to take the result momentum but we have to play better.”

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers to Sky Sports: “It was much better [than Boxing Day]. We started the game how we wanted to. Scored a fantastic goal and looked really dangerous. Maybe we came off it a fraction once we scored. But we still looked comfortable. Then obviously the two goals come from nowhere. We were always a threat in the game right until the very end. We’re just disappointed we didn’t get something because I felt we deserved something from the game.

“[Wout Faes] has been brilliant since he came in. Every performance he’s been outstanding. He’s gone away with Belgium and didn’t have any minutes whatsoever, so this is one of your examples of coming back and maybe taking a few games to get going. He’s just unfortunate tonight. The first goal, I’m not sure you’ll see it go in like that again. But he’s a strong character and he’ll get over it.”

As mentioned, Liverpool fans praised for a sh*thouse taunt as Faes scores two own goals in the Reds win at Leicester…

@GuvnaB: Liverpool fans shouting shoot when Wout Faes touches the ball is why the Prem is the best league in the world.

@octa2342: Bro taking the David Luiz fancy dress way too seriously. No need to play like him too.

@Dazsankey: Liverpool fans shouting shoot when Faes has the ball in his own box is top shithousery

@NotNali: Liverpool fans shouting “SHOOT!” whenever Faes touches the ball is comedy gold! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@AdeleMB: As much as I hate to see @lcfc losing a game where we’ve scored ALL the goals, gotta laugh at the @LFC fans yelling ‘shoot’ every time Faes gets the ball 😂😭 #LIVLEI

@steviedon: For some reason I’m watching #LIVLEI and the best thing about it is every time Faes gets the ball the home fans shout shoot. Aah that Scouse wit

@wolfsberg_r: Fans shouting “shoot” at Faes whenever he touches the ball might be the funniest thing this night😭😭😭😭😭

@G_Dot_Lindsey: He’s got more goals at Anfield than Nunez 😫

@charlielyee: Definitely got a bet on himself 😂

@si1774: Thats as suspicious an own goal as you’ll ever see. Wonder if he’s mates with Ivan Toney and they’ve hit some money on it. Nothing would surprise me in this league anymore.

@agbnufc_: That’s so bizarre, why would you swing at it with your right foot when you’re almost on the line / under the crossbar there. You can only clear that ball with your left.

@Yorkiebarkid1: The season of good will continues 🤣
