Leicester City were humbled for the second gameweek on the bounce as Liverpool registered a comfortable 4-0 league win over them at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.The Foxes had recently suffered a 3-1 thumping at the hands of Manchester City on the road and they were handed with another heavy defeat by the league leaders, who restricted them to zero shots on target.Roberto Firmino was the star of the match with a goal in either half for the Reds Jim Kelly Jersey .
